Hi, I'm Dr. Easton Gaines, PsyD, a New York psychologist who specializes in anxiety.
Maybe your mind runs the what-ifs at 2 a.m. Maybe you're the high achiever everyone leans on, quietly running on worry. Maybe it's the scary thoughts that showed up after your baby, or the stomachache your child gets every Sunday night. Anxiety wears a lot of outfits. I know them well.
I use the treatments with the strongest research behind them, including CBT, exposure and response prevention (ERP), ACT, and DBT skills, and I bring warmth and a little humor to the work. The goal isn't to never feel anxious again. It's to stop letting anxiety make your decisions.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.
Carl Rogers
HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER
Your anxiety isn't a flaw. It's a part of you working overtime to keep you safe.
So we won't fight it. We'll get curious about what it's trying to protect, give your body real tools to settle, and practice facing what you've been avoiding, one small, brave step at a time. You don't have to feel ready. Courage usually shows up after we start, not before. Wherever you're beginning, I'll meet you there.
