Exposure and Response Prevention

We offer exposure therapy for anxiety disorders, which include: panic disorder, OCD, social phobia, specific phobias, and generalized anxiety. Treatment targets internal and external components of anxiety by reducing avoidance and changing behaviors. 

Prolonged Exposure for Trauma

Prolonged exposure and response prevention therapy is an evidence based treatment for all forms of PTSD. The research shows that of those who participate in prolonged exposure, 60% have a reduction in symptoms (i.e., hypervigilance, avoidance, irritability, intrusive thoughts and flashbacks); 40% no longer meet criteria for PTSD. This therapy targets thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to trauma(s) in a safe and validating environment.

Behavioral Activation for Depression

This treatment is a systematic approach to target and reduce symptoms of depression (inactivity, isolation, apathy, loss of pleasure, hopelessness). Behavioral activation has been shown to be beneficial for people who struggle with severe, chronic depression, where other treatments such as CBT and medication have been insufficient.

Pregnancy, Postpartum & Parenting

The journey from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond can present its own form of challenges. Our clinicians have experience working with perinatal mood disorders using evidence based practices aimed at providing support, relieving symptoms and increasing one’s sense of competency and mastery around this unique time of life. Using a behavioral and attachment lens, we also work with parents of young children through adulthood to assist in modifying behaviors, decreasing conflict and increasing skillfulness within the family system.
