Individual cognitive-behavioral Therapy

We offer individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for OCD and anxiety-related disorders. We particularly emphasize exposure and response prevention (ERP)—or facing fears without avoidance—in our work with clients. CBT and ERP are empirically-supported treatments for OCD and anxiety-related disorders with strong research evidence for their efficacy. We also incorporate elements of mindfulness- and acceptance-based cognitive-behavioral interventions, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you drop the struggle with unwanted thoughts and feelings and move toward what matters.
