How do you work with clients with anxiety?
Our team draws on a wealth of expertise and experience in effective cognitive and behavioral treatments. The approaches we utilize most often are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy called Exposure Therapy or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Through these approaches, clients learn to modify unhelpful patterns of thinking; reduce undesirable behavior patterns (such as avoidance, anxious behaviors, or procrastination); and gradually confront and master the situations, activities, objects, and memories that cause anxiety. Where appropriate, we integrate mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help clients cope more effectively with difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. We will work closely with you to custom-tailor treatment and identify the combination of strategies, principles, and tools most likely to work for you based on your particular problems, needs, and goals. For clients with certain problems and needs, we also draw upon in-depth training in more specialized cognitive-behavioral treatments, including: - Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for trichotillomania and excoriation disorders - Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment (ComB) for trichotillomania and excoriation disorders - Prolonged Exposure (PE) for trauma and PTSD - Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and PTSD Behavioral Activation (BA) for depression - Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) Therapy for generalized anxiety - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When working with patients experiencing anxiety, I utilize an integrative approach that combines psychodynamic work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. Psychodynamic work helps uncover and address underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences contributing to anxiety. With CBT, we identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive ones. DBT adds another layer of healing, focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, helping patients manage intense emotions. Mindfulness techniques teach clients to stay present and grounded, reducing the impact of anxious thoughts and fostering a sense of calm. By blending these methods, I offer a comprehensive and empathetic approach tailored to each client's unique needs, supporting them in managing their anxiety and enhancing their overall well-being.
