Treatment Approaches
|
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and is also highly effective for panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and phobias. ERP deliberately confronts feared situations while reducing avoidance and compulsive responses that provide short-term relief but maintain the anxiety cycle. When expertly delivered, ERP is a short-term intervention often highly effective within 12–16 sessions. |
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT is an extensively researched, evidence-based psychotherapy approach widely used for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks, perfectionism, and trauma-related symptoms. CBT targets the thought, behavior, and avoidance patterns that maintain distress and limit functioning. The work is structured, skill-based, and active, and when expertly delivered is often effective within 12–18 sessions. |
|
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy used to treat trauma-related and anxiety-driven symptoms, including distress linked to adverse experiences or growing up with an emotionally immature parent. It is typically delivered over 8–16 sessions and helps clients process painful memories and loosen rigid negative beliefs driving self-doubt, rumination, avoidance, and emotional reactivity that limit functioning in high-performing individuals. |
SPACE (Parenting Anxious Children)
Anxiety can be contagious, shaping mood, routines, and behavior. Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is a 6–8 session, parent-based intervention developed at Yale for childhood anxiety, OCD, school refusal, and dependent young adults. SPACE reduces accommodation and increases effective parental support. The child does not need to attend sessions, and clinical trials show outcomes comparable to child-focused CBT. |
