Questions
What types of anxiety disorders do you treat?
We specialize in panic disorders, phobias, social anxiety, health anxiety, and generalized anxiety. Our CBT techniques address both symptom relief and underlying cognitive patterns.
How does your CBT approach differ from traditional therapy?
Our Sophisticated CBT combines cognitive restructuring with behavioral experiments and tailored tools. Sessions focus on measurable progress through structured exercises rather than open-ended discussion.
Can therapy help with non-anxiety related issues?
Yes. We address relationship challenges, career stress, habit changes, and life transitions using the same evidence-based framework that underpins our anxiety treatment programs.
What happens during the first session?
Initial consultation includes comprehensive assessment, diagnostic feedback, and immediate skill introduction. We establish treatment goals and begin practical interventions right away.
Do you offer medication management?
As a psychologist, we don't prescribe medication but coordinate care with psychiatrists when appropriate. Our focus remains on cognitive-behavioral interventions and behavioral strategies.
