Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Reno, NV

Available for in-person services in midtown Reno. Telehealth is also an option if needed. I treat clients of all ages with a down-to-earth style while guiding through psychological and behavioral process. I collaborate with clients to assess their needs and implement appropriate methods such as ACT, DBT, FAP (an interpersonal approach), and CBT. I previously taught preschool, middle school, and high school and also spent over 8 years treating college students. Assessing and treating kids while coaching parents is also a favorite part of my practice.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

Hi there! I believe that in order to reach our maximum potential, we must work to both accept our emotions, and change our unhealthy behaviors. I believe in using evidence-based treatment practices to target powerful change. I am a strong proponent of both education and deep understanding in therapy. I have extensive education in several specialties utilizing mindfulness, neurobiology, and attachment. This combination makes me unique in being able to offer tools, answers, and deliver powerful and lasting results. I am not the listen and nod therapist. I will give you tools to change your life for the better!

I practice psychology as a profession, and focus much of my hobbies around self-improvement. I made a vow to myself early in my career that I would create the life that made therapy most effective for others, and would maintain accountability for changes to be made in my life to be of service to others. When it comes to addressing psychological suffering we must consider the paradox of wanting to start, knowing where to put our attention, and ultimately, to begin the journey of change. Transformational psychotherapy is the discovery and exploration of mental clarity, self-restraint, connection, autonomy, and authenticity.

I work with people who are ready to take control of their mental health, experience relief, and build resilience. My treatment philosophy is "together, forward" and I work with you to neutralize emotional pain, transform negative thoughts into an empowering growth mindset, and replace problematic reactions with healthy habits. I believe treatment should be goal-oriented, time-limited, and cost-effective and you can expect to develop specific goals, regularly track progress, and train outside of session to ensure therapy is working.

Due to Covid and increase in need for mental health treatment I have limited space. I am only accepting clients with referral from physicians with chronic health problems and mood disturbance at this time. I have a speciality in clinical health psychology which means I treat BOTH emotional, mood and physical health problems. I have specialized training in the treatment of insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety and depression. I worked many years at the VA hospital so have interest in PTSD and trauma treatment. I also have a background in geriatrics working with older adults with dementia and family caregiver support. Please see website.

You feel like maybe there’s a rule book for life that you missed. You thought that once you got to this point in your career, you’d feel great, but instead of feeling confident and energized, you’re trapped. Your demanding job has left you anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, and underperforming. You've heard that you just need to prioritize better, lower your expectations, or do less - but none of that is working. Just like you, I know that doing less isn’t an option. So let’s do it better.

*DR. BOSWELL IS ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** I am a Licensed Psychologist who has worked with individuals, couples, families, and children over the past 15 years.

Hi. I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing from an integrative approach. Basically what that means is that I utilize a number of research-based therapeutic approaches, but tailor them to your individual needs. These approaches are coupled with empathy and meeting you where you’re at in the difficulties you have experienced and the journey you are on. Approaches include: cognitive-behavioral therapy, CPT for PTSD, behavioral activation, exposure therapies, acceptance-based approaches, interpersonal and social skills, positive emotion enhancement, brief psychodynamic approaches, functional analysis, structured assessment.

Do you feel caught in a never-ending loop of worries or uncertainty? Maybe you’re troubled by recurrent intrusive thoughts and images? Do certain situations and triggers cause you to freeze up and panic? These, along with depression, are the common concerns my clients present with.

In my practice, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), two of the most effective therapies science has given us for overcoming the challenges of Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. I'll help guide you toward peace of mind.
