Sports Performance Therapists in Newburyport, MA

My practice is dedicated to the treatment of OCD & selected anxiety disorders. My approach blends Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy and Inferential Based Treatment (C-IBT). IBT is a new generation of cognitive therapy, developed specifically for the treatment of OCD but with applications for other anxiety disorders. IBT achieves change by focusing on a type of (obsessional) doubting process, where reality, senses and perception are distrusted and/or discounted in favor of what is imagined, irrelevant or absurdly implausible. C-IBT is considered a "game-changer", going beyond the limits of traditional CBT.
