Established in 2014 by an LMFT with additional certification through the Robbins-Madanes Training Center, Anxiety Therapy SD operates from the First Avenue medical building at the south edge of Hillcrest and centers its clinical work on EMDR for anxiety, trauma, and entrenched relationship patterns. The protocol stack pairs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the same evidence-based combination used in adjacent specialty mental health offices such as Eating Disorder & OCD Therapy San Diego. The Gottman Method and Motivational Interviewing round out the toolkit for couples and ambivalence-stage clients. The practice has built a niche serving high-functioning professionals — CEOs, business owners, and high-pressure-career clients who present with performance anxiety and panic. Collaboration with general wellness and integrative practices such as Perlman Wellness happens for clients who pair therapy with broader medical anxiety workups. The most complex caseload here involves adults with high-control senior roles processing complex trauma, where EMDR reprocessing has to be paced around demanding work calendars and weekly performance pressure.
