The MAC offers up-to-date, cutting edge psychological services for individuals in the Greater Baltimore Maryland regions. MAC Clinicians specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In addition, we treat body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, hair pulling, skin picking disorders, and Tourette’s and tic disorders.
Our clinicians have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which has repeatedly been shown to be the most effective treatment for all of the disorders we treat. CBT is a solution-focused approach to therapy that uses a variety of strategies and techniques to address the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Types of services include an initial comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic assessment, individual therapy, group therapy and home and/or out-of-office sessions. In addition, the MAC offers accelerated and intensive treatments.
