Anxiety Therapy for Executives

CONNOR MCCLENAHAN, PSYD

Take a deep breath again.

I help anxious executives recover confidence and hope.

Panic attacks and sleepless nights have become hard to shake. You wake up most mornings dreading the day ahead. Your relationships seem thin and strained, and you find yourself in addictive patterns. You’re isolated at work and at home, and fear that you’re resulting to addictive behaviors to cope day to day. You want to rest, but pressing demands make it almost impossible. You don’t feel like yourself anymore.

More than anything, you wish you could be clear and confident. You want to make smart decisions, be supported by loved ones, and make space for yourself. You want to enjoy your life again.

I help executives overcome anxiety and self-criticism so they can live satisfying lives. Through exploring your thoughts and behaviors, you’ll learn how to handle stressors in a healthy way. You’ll create new ways to cope with difficult emotions like anxiety and depression so you rely less on destructive or addictive patterns. You won’t be scattered, sleepless, and beat down. You’ll recover the strength within to handle the storms of life. And it starts when we can talk openly, with curiosity, about your inner world.

Wake up feeling rested and hopeful about your life. You have the chance to learn the emotional skills you need to overcome the stressors that are weighing you down. I’ll be here to help. Request a call with me today.
Why does trauma impact some people and not others?

Dr. Connor McClenahan, clinical psychologist and group private practice owner in Pasadena, explores the unpredictable nature of trauma, revealing how it’s more than just the event—it’s about how the mind is shaped as a result. From forming mental “templates” that shape our reactions to triggering symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, or avoidance, trauma’s effects are deeply personal.

What kinds of problems do you help with?

I help lawyers, professionals, and executives who are feeling overwhelmed by difficult and hard-to-move-through emotions. Sometimes I help people with OCD, anxiety, panic, trauma, and depression. Often the symptoms a person experiences is the expression of a deeper belief or memory that needs to be expressed and understood. This helps create new pathways so we can resolve the feeling and move forward.

What's your training?

I received my doctorate of psychology in clinical psychology from Fuller School of Psychology, and graduated in 2015. My training focused largely on interpersonal neurobiology, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and how our early relationships and experiences form the way we view ourselves, our world, and how we experience emotion. I have training in psychopharmacology and psychological testing, which helps me effectively address issues such as ADHD, depression, and panic attacks. If you have any questions about my approach or training, please ask.
