Are you sick and tired of feeling anxious, worried or depressed all the time? Discouraged that your own efforts to change things only leave you stuck? And then downing yourself on top of that? Are you living only a part of the life that you wish you could have? Well, anyone can fall into those traps. You don't have to figure it all out by yourself. And trying harder isn't the solution. Trying “different” is. Learning and practicing new skills is your ticket out. I can help you identify the traps and make best use of new/different skills and strategies.

To accomplish that, I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy which focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Working collaboratively with specific goals in mind, we develop practical strategies to more effectively manage challenges, reduce distress, improve mood, and promote adaptive thoughts and behaviors. It doesn't take forever!

My expertise is treating individuals with anxiety and mood disorders, particularly OCD and panic. I also conduct brief, CBT treatment groups (see below) for specific problems. For over 30 years, satisfied clients have been my best source of referrals. Many leave therapy thinking they should have tried it sooner. Now, maybe it's your turn!

Groups

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder group

Hosted by

James Dod

This group is primarily designed for those people who have not previously had CBT for OCD. This 10-week-long, focused treatment group is designed to teach the behavior therapy principles and techniques that have been proven to be effective. The primary focus is learning Exposure and Response Prevention, and carrying out appropriate therapeutic exercises both inside and outside of sessions.

Social Anxiety group

Hosted by

James Dod

Telling people with long-standing fears of social evaluation to undertake group therapy can make the treatment sound daunting. Yet CBT group treatment for social anxiety problems is, for many people, the most effective approach to treating the problem. In this 12-week focused group, the interventions target the sequences of thought and behavior that have reinforced fear. The group is an excellent place to learn and practice social skills, cognitive restructuring, and exposure exercises. The supportive aspect of group therapy itself encourages clients to apply new behaviors and ways of thinking outside of group.
