I'm a psychologist that specializes in treating Anxiety Disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. I also treat coexisting concerns, including ADHD, low self-esteem, OCD, and social skill deficits. My approach as an anxiety therapist is compassionate and solution-focused. I utilize a strength-based approach. Specifically, I'll address your challenges, while focusing on improving your confidence and building on your strengths. 

​

I am intensively trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based psychological treatment proven effective at addressing a wide range of problems, including anxiety disorders. CBT works by focusing on the relationship between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. As your anxiety therapist, I will help you identify and change your unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. I will teach you tools to manage your anxiety.

 

To facilitate change, parents are actively involved in treatment. A parent's commitment to learning new techniques is often instrumental to making long-lasting change. I provide parent training, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and parent management training (PMT). As your family's anxiety therapist, I’ll help you learn skills that foster a more harmonious home environment. 

​

When appropriate, treatment may also include components of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including mindfulness training and acceptance work. I also specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an anxiety therapy approach proven effective at treating phobias, PTSD, and OCD. 

​

Anxiety therapy will include homework, which is regularly assigned between sessions. By practicing skills learned in session, you will reach your goals as quickly as possible. 

​

​Anxiety may affect all aspects of your life. My holistic approach will address your anxiety, along with maladaptive sleep, exercise, and eating habits. As your anxiety therapist, I will help you learn to manage your anxiety and learn skills to improve your quality of life. 

​

I know how debilitating anxiety can be and am here to help. I provide anxiety therapy to people located in New York and New Jersey using telehealth. I also offer anxiety therapy in my NYC office on the Upper West Side. Please email info@drjohannab.com for more information about the options for telehealth or anxiety therapy NYC. 

​

I understand that you may still be unsure if you need therapy. Often in life, taking the first step on a new path brings feelings of uncertainty. That’s understandable. I offer a free phone consultation and will gladly do my best to answer any questions and concerns about anxiety therapy. If I believe another psychologist can better assist you, I will give you a referral. I’m here to help. I look forward to discussing your options with you.
