What should I expect?
You’ll begin with a brief phone screening, followed by an initial evaluation if our services are a good match. Your therapist will discuss your symptoms, history, and treatment options, then work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and session schedule.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
CBT explores how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. Treatment helps you recognize and change thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and emotional distress, so you can respond to difficult situations more effectively.
What is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)?
ERP is a behavioral component of CBT that helps you gradually face distressing thoughts, feelings, and situations while reducing avoidance and compulsive responses. You and your therapist create an exposure plan together to help you learn that you can tolerate anxiety and discomfort.
What types of treatment do you offer?
We offer individual therapy, intensive or accelerated treatment, home or out-of-office therapy, and group therapy. We also provide education for parents, families, and couples, along with evaluations, school consultation, and medication referrals and coordination.
