I am Robert Lyons, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treating adults with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders (panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in California. Are you exhausted with anxiety and worry controlling your life? Are unwanted intrusive thoughts or reminders of past traumatic experiences causing you overwhelming stress? Have you tried everything to manage these issues on your own, but nothing seems to bring enduring relief? If you find yourself answering yes, I may be able to help you achieve lasting change and relief.
My extensive training and experience in university and medical center settings provide me with up to date research supported approaches for treating OCD, anxiety disorders and PTSD. I work from a cognitive behavioral lens, sometimes drawing on acceptance-based perspectives. I offer first-line evidence-based therapies for OCD, anxiety disorders and PTSD.
My style is collaborative, warm and direct. We will work together to establish and meet treatment goals that reduce your experience of distress while promoting deeper meaning in your life. If you are interested in learning if I may be a good fit, contact me or visit www.caocdtherapy.com to schedule a free brief consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
