You've read the books and analyzed yourself ad nauseum, but your mind still won't slow down. Our therapists are specially trained in somatic, experiential, and nervous system-based therapy to go beyond the symptoms and heal the root cause of anxiety, panic, phobias & OCD.
A few of the ways anxiety commonly shows up for our therapy clients.
“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.”
Our founder, Brooke Sprowl has 20 years specializing in anxiety, OCD, phobias, panic attacks and health anxiety. Her signature approach, Nervous System-Based Therapy, works at an unconscious level to shift the patterns running the show beneath the surface.
If you're nodding, that's exactly where we begin.
While some anxiety is a normal part of life (sigh), when it begins to feel hopeless, out of control, or pervasive, it requires professional treatment.
These are signs that your nervous system needs support to shift the underlying emotional and cognitive patterns causing your anxiety. Below are a few of the most common signs of anxiety:
We use research-based therapy approaches that are scientifically proven to heal every kind of anxiety including:
Anxiety is your nervous system's threat detection running on high alert and no amount of logic usually helps it subside. Below are the most common anxiety disorders we treat and their telltale signs and symptoms:
Anxiety moves through different channels, each requiring distinct clinical interventions. Correctly identifying which type of anxiety is active determines which interventions will actually work. Our proprietary Nervous System-Based Therapy provides real-time anxiety interventions and tangible tools for each pathway of anxiety below:

"I was in therapy on and off for 20 years. Brooke did more in one session than years of work with my previous therapists."
You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year!
From the beginning of our session, Brooke knew exactly what tools and questions would work for my particular psychology. No other therapist has been able to do that.
I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Brooke went right to the source of the issue while staying so gentle and kind.
Brooke has the true gift of insight and compassion, getting straight to the heart of your blind spots in a way that’s truly changed my life.
Therapy helped me untangle so much confusion and bring peace to where I once felt fear. I feel free and alive for the first time in a long time.
My vivid imagination wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed. In a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of laundry that just needs to be aired out.
The original framework our founder developed over twenty years in practice, and the backbone of how we treat anxiety: working with the alarm itself, not just the thoughts it produces.
Real-time anxiety modulation, nervous system regulation, and autonomic tracking let us catch anxiety as it rises in the room and turn your system’s volume back down in real-time.
Unconscious anxiety activates defense mechanisms that once kept us safe but tend to cause reverberating harmful patterns that keep us stuck. We identify and compassionately interrupt these defense mechanisms to break the cycle.
Anxiety travels different pathways in different people, through thinking, muscle, or gut. We work somatically, experientially, cognitively, and with parts, understanding various pathways of anxiety require different interventions.
Our therapists are specifically trained in research-based anxiety interventions. Every approach below has been tested in clinical research and proven to reduce anxiety, and your therapist draws on the ones that fit how yours presents.
Our therapist matching specialist knows every therapist on our roster personally and who is the best fit for your unique needs and personality.
Our warm and experienced LA anxiety specialists offer in-person therapy at 7 office locations across the city, plus online therapy anywhere in California, or a mix of both.

I spent more than 10 years seeking help for my anxiety with over a dozen different therapists. I know this territory so deeply because I've lived it personally. I know what it feels like to wake up each morning with an inexplicable sense of dread, to feel paralyzed from anxiety, and to struggle to go to sleep because you can't quiet your anxious thoughts.
You are not weak, and you are not too much. Anxiety tends to live in brilliant, capable, deeply feeling people. In twenty years of practice, my clients are some of the most extraordinary people I've ever met.
Anxiety heals as you learn to work with the nervous system rather than against it, discerning the cues your body is sending you to slow down, pay attention, and tend to your own needs. In this way, you restore your capacity to trust yourself, repattern your nervous system, and reconnect with a sense of peace and aliveness
Learn scientifically proven CBT techniques to overcome anxiety, depression, and irrational thoughts so you can see yourself in more realistic and empowering ways.
You deserve a life anxiety doesn’t get to run. One conversation is all it takes to know whether we’re the right people to help you take it back.
