What is Cognitive-Behavior Therapy?
​
What is Exposure Therapy?

Picture
At our center, we practice Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, otherwise known as "CBT." 

CBT is an evidence-based treatment employed for the treatment of anxiety, depressive, and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. It involves examining and challenging how our thought processes can contribute to and maintain feelings of anxiety and depression, how feelings of isolation and inactive interests can increase feelings of depression, and it focuses on how we can gradually confront the places, situations, or people that we fear so our fear reduces in the present and future. 

Currently, only a small percentage (some studies estimate around 15%) of clinical psychologists are trained in exposure therapy. Exposure therapy is the most evidence-based treatment for anxiety. Exposure therapy comes in two iterations: gradual and flooding. It involves either a graduated, systematic approach to confronting one's fears or facing the main fear directly. Most patients opt for the gradual approach, but both approaches are effective.

Our Office Environment
​

We have specifically designed our offices with the idea that coming to treatment should not feel clinical.

We want you to feel as comfortable as possible.

Our office aesthetic has been described by our patients as "welcoming, calming, and home-like."
