The Center offers specialized treatment for people with a wide range of anxiety and stress disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, social phobia and trichotillomania. Treatments at the Center are typically time limited (10 to 20 sessions) and cognitive-behavioral in orientation. Patients meet one-on-one with a therapist (though some programs may incorporate group treatment as well) for one or more session each week.
Before entering a treatment program at the Center, patients complete an extensive evaluation of their anxiety problems. Patients are interviewed at length and complete a number of specialized assessment tests. The information gathered during this evaluation is used to determine if the person has an anxiety or stress problem, and which treatment best matches the patient's needs. The results of the evaluation are discussed with the patient and treatment recommendations are offered. If it is decided that treatment programs at the Center are appropriate, arrangements will be made at the end of the evaluation. |
