Empathetic and thoughtful, I tailor a personalized, cutting edge treatment plan specifically for your needs and level of readiness. Although typically described as gentle and warm, I offer tough love too as I will hold you accountable as you work to confront your fears. Together we can uncover what is stopping you from living according to your values and help you to remove those barriers. Ultimately I will help you to achieve measurable progress toward your goals.

Joe Racklin
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I have over 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of anxiety including
OCD
, worry, panic, social anxiety, phobias and hoarding.
Anxiety and depression can make life very difficult. These symptoms only worsen if you hide them out of fear that others won’t understand or will be judgmental. It is important to know that there are specific treatment approaches that have been shown to be particularly effective. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure with Response Prevention, and other Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help see thoughts and beliefs differently, and to act more in line with how we want to be. My approach also emphasizes a more accepting, compassionate relationship with one’s self to help therapy be most effective.

I work with trauma, anxiety, PTSD, psychosomatic pain, GAD, Phobias, Panic,

Do anxiety, trauma and insecurity run your life more than your values and dreams? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As horrible as those experiences were for the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings. Do others believe in your competence more than you believe in yourself? What would it be like if life was driven by passion and not fear or shame? Or are you a couple that loves each other but still gets frustrated with communication issues?
Jennifer Lara
Associate Clinical Social Worker, ASW
Verified
I practice each intervention through distinctive situations my clients may experience when living with trauma and mental health which can develop symptoms of depression, anxiety,
obsessive
compulsive disorder, and co-occurring addictive disorders.
Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions). It affects children, kids, teens and adults. Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety. A person's level of OCD can be anywhere from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, it can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school or even to lead a comfortable existence in the home.
