Board-Certified in Child, Adolescent, Adult, and Addiction Psychiatry, for over 20 years Dr. Eric Nicholson has specialized in treating neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals with trauma-related disorders (PTSD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder/OCD-Spectrum Disorders including Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (trichotillomania, skin picking) with Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Exposure/Response Prevention therapy with Inhibitory Learning, Habit Reversal Training and medicine as needed. He also expertly treats all Addictions and Depressive & Anxiety Disorders (Social Anxiety, Panic disorders).
Dr. Nicholson will work closely with parents to improve their relationships with their child and improve their ability to provide support, guidance and encouragement necessary to eliminate maladaptive behaviors and overcome anxiety and depression, by eliminating any counterproductive accommodating/enabling behaviors and, if present, end the “coercive cycle”.
Dr. Nicholson spends the time needed to address his patients' needs. He will spend multiple hours one or more times weekly (for a flat fee per session) to encourage participation and improve outcomes. He addresses peer-socialization, sleep, exercise, and nutrition. No “medication only” services provided. No insurance accepted. He cannot treat Husky patients.
