Therapy for Panic and Anxiety

EMDR AND INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS INFORMED THERAPY IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY AND ACROSS NY

Anxiety and panic have a way of zapping you of your time, energy, and joy.

Anxiety looks different from person to person: some experience it as a sense of panic or unease, while others notice it in their social interactions, or a fear of not being good enough.

You might be:

  • Spending much of your time worrying about your work, relationships, health, finances, or family

  • Experiencing sleep difficulties

  • Having trouble concentrating or making decisions

  • Second-guessing yourself and your abilities or worth

    This isn’t your fault. There are solutions.

My Approach and How Therapy Works With Me

We will take the following steps below to ensure that you get the best therapy treatment possible:

  • Feel Fully Understood

    In the first 2-3 sessions, I’ll listen carefully and compassionately to your concerns and what you would like to get out of therapy. You are the expert on yourself.

  • Create a Plan Together

    Once I understand your needs and goals, I can share with you what therapy approaches might be most helpful. Together we will come up with a plan that you are comfortable with.

  • Working Through The Issues

    I will help you work through the issues that have brought you to therapy using the most effective and cutting edge strategies. Our work will always be based on what feels right to you.

Anxiety Treatment Modalities

My 24 years of experience as a therapist and my extensive training in many types of therapy means that you will get the expertise you deserve in a supportive, caring environment.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems) Informed Therapy

  • ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

All of these therapy approaches are considered evidence-based, meaning that each one has been well-researched and shown to be effective.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Anxiety is not one-size-fits-all! It’s so important to understand the different manifestations of anxiety and, therefore, how each should be treated. I am trained in the gold-standard methods for treating things such as:

    • Trauma-based anxiety

    • Panic and Panic attacks

    • Social anxiety

    • Avoidance

    • Emotional regulation challenges

    • Rumination

    • Phobias

  • No. While many of my clients enter therapy describing their challenges as anxiety, often there are deeper root causes that must be addressed as well. I am trained in treating family of origin issues, attachment-based interventions, trauma, and more. However, I do not specialize in all mental health concerns. If I feel you would be better served by a different provider, I will happily provide you with referrals.
