Our Approach

Anxiety stems from a variety of sources.  Our dual perspective approach seeks to address not only managing anxiety itself but also reducing the factors that cause anxiety in the first place.
Our approach is based on the complementary perspectives of research based models of counseling and speech and language practices.
  


Examples of therapeutic models consistent with DBT include:
Mindfulness and Mediation
Changing Cognitive Distortions
Exposure and Response Prevention ERP
Thoughts/Behavior and Feelings Model
Resiliency Theory

Home work focuses on practicing learned strategies regularly and reporting results through self-report, journaling, data collection, exposure to stressors, etc...
