I use evidence-based therapies in my practice, including CBT, exposure therapy, HRT, ERP, and PE.
Hi there! I'm Dr. Hillary Ammon. I founded the Center for Anxiety and Women’s Emotional Wellness to provide specialized, effective treatment to these populations. After years of working within hospital settings, most recently at the University of Pennsylvania, I decided to take my own advice and live a life that better aligns with my values, by striking a balance of work and family life and creating this private practice. I am passionate about working with women and clients with anxiety, both unique populations, and providing evidence-based, yet tailored-care, and a virtual space to reflect, approach, problem-solve, and change.

I work well with a range of problems across the adult lifespan, with experience effectively treating depression, anxiety, trauma and problems with life transitions. I have a clinical interest in effective treatment of PTSD and serious mental illness. Since completing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I am currently working toward licensure as a psychologist under the supervision of Dr. Hoolahan and Dr. Sell. As a Marine Corps veteran, I have an appreciation for the obstacles that other veterans may face, both at coping with challenges resulting from their service or those that arise through transitioning back to a civilian life.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviors that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioral therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioral change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
