Meet our Team of
Anxiety Specialists
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety is already making everyday decisions feel more difficult. At Behaved Brain, our goal is to create a supportive, welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable from the very first conversation.
Founded by Katie Gately, Behaved Brain was built on the belief that meaningful change begins with genuine connection. Our team understands that anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. For some, it shows up as constant worry and overthinking. For others, it may feel like burnout, perfectionism, panic, difficulty sleeping, or a persistent sense of overwhelm. We take the time to understand your unique experience and develop a treatment approach that reflects your individual needs and goals.
Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we take a whole-person approach to emotional wellness. Through evidence-based therapy, practical coping strategies, and a compassionate therapeutic relationship, our team helps clients build resilience, gain clarity, and develop the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.
Types of Therapy we Offer for
Anxiety in Adults
Anxiety affects everyone differently, which is why effective treatment is never one-size-fits-all. At Behaved Brain, our therapists utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique experiences, symptoms, and goals. Whether you’re struggling with chronic worry, panic, overwhelm, perfectionism, or stress related to work, relationships, or life transitions, we work collaboratively to help you develop practical tools, build resilience, and create lasting change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
One of the most effective treatments for anxiety, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to worry, fear, and stress. CBT provides practical tools for managing anxious thoughts and developing healthier coping strategies.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
ACT helps individuals develop a different relationship with anxiety by learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions without allowing them to dictate behavior. The focus is on building psychological flexibility and taking meaningful action aligned with personal values.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness techniques help clients become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. By learning to observe anxiety without judgment, many individuals experience greater emotional balance and reduced stress.
Exposure Therapy
For individuals struggling with specific fears, phobias, panic, or avoidance behaviors, exposure therapy can help gradually reduce anxiety by safely and systematically confronting feared situations. Over time, this process can build confidence and decrease emotional distress.
Stress & Emotional Regulation
Many adults benefit from learning practical skills to manage daily stressors more effectively. Therapy may focus on improving emotional regulation, setting healthy boundaries, reducing overwhelm, and developing healthier responses to life’s challenges.
Lifestyle & Wellness Interventions
At Behaved Brain, we recognize that factors such as sleep quality, nutrition, physical activity, routines, and environmental stressors can significantly impact anxiety symptoms. Addressing these foundational areas often plays an important role in supporting long-term emotional well-being.
