Our Approach to Treating Anxiety & Stress
Our team of experts specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety and stress through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. Our therapists use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and biofeedback training to address a wide range of anxiety-related concerns.
These therapies are proven to help clients reduce anxiety, challenge negative thought patterns, and build healthier coping mechanisms. We create a safe and affirming space where you can explore your stress and anxiety triggers while also taking committed action toward lasting change. Our approach is tailored to meet your unique needs, and we use measurement-based care to track progress, ensuring that your treatment is effective and aligned with your personal goals. Whether you're dealing with panic attacks, phobias, or work-related stress, we’re here to support you on your path to healing and well-being.
Our Therapist Matching Process
At Aspire Psychotherapy, we understand that each person’s journey is unique, which is why we take the time to match you with a therapist who best fits your individual needs. The first step is to book an intake appointment (30 minutes - virtual - $175) with one of our directors Dr. Anya Scolaro, Psy.D. or Brie Scolaro, LCSW. From the start, we ensure that you work with a therapist who specializes in the areas that matter most to you. We consider your personal preferences, goals, and therapeutic style to ensure you feel comfortable, heard, and supported throughout your healing process. Our goal is to provide you with a therapist who not only has the right expertise but also fosters a strong, trusting relationship to help you achieve meaningful, lasting change.
