Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Lutherville Timonium, MD
With expertise in CBT-E, FBT and ERP (for ARFID), I will support you in creating positive change.
When you or a loved one is struggling it can be hard to know where to start in bringing about positive change. It may seem like the strategies you are using to make things better just aren’t working, which can lead to feeling stuck, hopeless and uncertain. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and safe space to work together on better understanding how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors interact, with the goal being to find strategies and solutions that help you to live a life consistent with your values. Specializing in eating disorders and co-occurring disorders, I particularly enjoy working with young adults.

I also have advanced training in group psychotherapy, ERP and I-CBT for OCD, DBT for crisis stabilization, and narrative reprocessing therapy for trauma.
My approach to therapy often focuses on what gets in the way of (1) maintaining authentic social relationships and (2) managing complex feelings. Many people seem to struggle with being fully known by others, which often starts with more fully knowing yourself.

Specifically, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, OCD, relationship concerns, grief/loss, family of origin/attachment issues, life transitions, and cultural identity development.

David is a queer, neurodivergent Jewish dude who wants to do nothing more than leave the world a better place than when he came into it. David believes in a humanistic approach to therapy, which means that much of what you focus on in the therapy room is what you find to be personally affecting you. He has training in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy, amongst others, which he uses to build a framework in order to help set goals, but ultimately the approach used will be based on what you vibe the most with.

My clinical work is grounded in Inferenced-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) and Exposure Response Therapy ( ERP), while also integrating mindfulness and a mind–body–spirit perspective.
Hi! I’m Victoria! I believe therapy works best when clients feel met where they are and supported at a pace that feels right for them. In our work together, we move step by step, practicing and exploring things together in session so clients feel more prepared and confident as they continue that work between sessions. Rather than focusing on fixing or forcing change, I work with clients to understand their patterns and develop ways of functioning that honor who they are, especially for those who have spent much of their lives trying to adapt to systems that were never designed for how their brains work.

In the therapy room, connection is key to transformation. I create emotional safety through building relationship first then use my expertise in trauma informed care to address what's holding you back or what's keeping you trapped on this rollercoaster ride you don't remember signing up for.
Therapy with me starts the moment you walk into the room and I aim to empower you through truly identifying and processing what you've been holding close to your chest. I offer you the mirror, held with compassion, and the powerful transformation that comes with looking into it.

Curious about therapy with a former New York City actress? Here I am, having happily made my segue into being a therapist two decades ago.

Whether you are reaching out to address anxiety, grief/loss, or tough life chapters for yourself or your child, it is essential to find the right therapeutic fit. That said, my approach is warm, sometimes goofy, empathic, and authentic.

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.
