Anxiety Therapy Denver, CO

Anxiety Doesn’t Define You — But It Can Shape Everything

You might be feeling anxious all the time — about work, relationships, health, or nothing in particular. Maybe your thoughts race, your chest tightens, or you can’t seem to turn off your mind. For some people, it’s panic attacks. For others, it’s a constant hum of tension. Whatever your experience is, it’s real — and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Dr. Susan Hollander, Ph.D., provides anxiety therapy in Denver, CO, grounded in compassion and evidence-based techniques. She works with adults dealing with generalized anxiety, panic, and stress that feels impossible to manage on your own.

Therapy with Dr. Hollander isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about understanding where your anxiety comes from, learning how to move through it, and building a life that doesn’t feel ruled by fear.

What Anxiety Therapy Looks Like with Dr. Hollander

Support that meets you right where you are

You don’t need to come to therapy with a plan. You don’t need the right words. You don’t even need to know exactly what’s wrong. All you need is a willingness to start — to explore what’s been weighing on you and begin to understand it in a new way.

Dr. Susan Hollander offers a grounded, thoughtful approach that’s never one-size-fits-all. Together, you’ll look at what’s brought you here — not just your symptoms, but your story.

In your work together, you might:

• Explore family history and how early relationships shaped the way you experience anxiety
• Begin to recognize patterns of fear and how they show up in your thoughts, body, and relationships
• Learn simple but powerful relaxation and problem-solving techniques to ease the overwhelm
• Engage in psychodynamic psychotherapy to uncover unconscious patterns that keep you stuck
• Practice self-affirmation, learning to respond to yourself with compassion instead of criticism
• Use structured tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to shift unhelpful thinking and reconnect with what matters most

Sessions are warm, present, and collaborative. Dr. Hollander listens carefully — not just for what’s said, but for what’s underneath. This is a space to feel heard, to make sense of your experience, and to find your way forward.

It’s not about fixing you — because you’re not broken. It’s about understanding where you’ve been, how it’s shaped you, and how you want to move through what comes next.

Areas of Focus

Helping Adults Move Through Anxiety with Clarity and Care

Anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all. It can look like spiraling thoughts at 2am, a pounding heart in the middle of a meeting, or a quiet but constant hum of dread. For some people, anxiety shows up as irritability or indecision; for others, it’s obsessive thinking or the need to keep everything just right.

Dr. Susan Hollander works with adults experiencing many forms of anxiety, including:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – Persistent worry, overthinking, and restlessness that won’t let up
• Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder – Sudden waves of fear, tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, or a sense of losing control
• Social Anxiety – Fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations, even when you know it’s irrational
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or mental rituals that feel impossible to stop
• Health Anxiety – Excessive focus on physical symptoms or fear of illness, even with reassurance
• Stress and Life Transitions – Major changes, grief, or overwhelm that leaves you feeling unmoored
• Trauma-Linked Anxiety – Anxiety rooted in past experiences that continue to echo in the present

Many of Dr. Hollander’s clients have already been to therapy — sometimes more than once — and still feel stuck. That’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’re not trying hard enough. It just means you haven’t had the right kind of support yet.

This work is different. It’s calm. It’s honest. It’s designed not just to help you feel better in the short term, but to give you the insight and tools you need to move through life with more freedom, more self-trust, and less fear.
