Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD

Our therapists work with clients in exposing them to situations, thoughts and objects that trigger anxiety and support them making the choice not to perform the compulsive behavior. While facing our fears can be scary and overwhelming, we know that this is the best way to reduce and do away with our anxiety around the things that we fear.

Family Therapy, Parent Consultation and SPACE.

Family Therapy - Understanding that the family system is complex and ever changing, we work from a family systems approach. We work collaboratively with families to develop a better understanding of how their family system functions and the things that might be getting in the way of relationships and contributing to “feeling stuck.” We will assist a family in identifying the unproductive communication patterns, as well as unhealthy behavioral patterns within their system, we then work to alter those patterns by learning more productive ways of communicating and solving problems.

Parent Consultation - During parent consultations, we collaborate with parents to develop immediate strategies to address the parenting challenges that they are facing as well as help parents to better understand the needs of their child.

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions - We have SPACE trained therapists on our team. SPACE is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety and or OCD. Although children do not have to attend SPACE sessions - they are the patients!

Groups

We offer skills based groups for anxiety and body image. Group participants learn Cognitive Behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy and Mindfulness tools to address stress and anxiety.

High School group - We will be offering in-person groups to support the development of social skills as well as tools to manage stress and anxiety.  The group will focus on teaching (and practicing) mindfulness, coping, and self-care strategies, and will provide an opportunity for teens to connect with other teens who are also learning and practicing these skills. 

We will meet once a week on Thursdays at our office in Mill Valley starting in the New Year.

Young Adult Group - Many young adults are nervous about reengaging, out of practice socially, and struggling with new or ongoing mental health challenges. 

This 4-week, in-person group will offer a small group of 18-22 year-olds an opportunity to:

• Connect with other young adults who are in a similar life stage

• Practice social skills and prep for “re-entry” into the world

• Learn tools (based in cognitive-behavioral therapy) to manage anxiety and depression symptoms

The group will be in-person, socially distanced and masks are required. The group will meet outside at our Mill Valley office.
