Valerie Sadon, LCSW & Associates Inc.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety
Our treatment of anxiety focuses on teaching our clients tools and strategies with the strongest evidence for effectiveness in relieving symptoms. We use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat a range of anxiety-related issues including Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, OCD, Obsessive Worry, Health Anxiety, and Fears and Phobias. These treatments serve to alter patterns of thinking and behaving that reinforce anxious feelings.
EMDR
Many of us find that our emotional reactions in the present are caused by feeling "stuck" in the past. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that is used to heal from the distress caused by disturbing life experiences. EMDR is considered the 'Gold Standard' in the treatment Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A study conducted by Kaiser Permanente found that 100% of the single-trauma victims and 77% of multiple trauma victims no longer were diagnosed with PTSD after only six 50-minute EMDR sessions.
