Our Approach

Our approach is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) one in order to reduce your anxiety as quickly as possible so that you can break free.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the only research proven method for effectively treating anxiety.  Based on success at The April Center for Anxiety Attack Management - Los Angeles, this has been supported through experience.

The easiest, most straightforward description of cognitive-behavioral therapy is that it involves the use of many different tools, techniques and strategies to change how you think and respond when anxious.  A large part of cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety reduction involves a technique called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).  This generally involves structured assignments to assist one in facing fears gradually to build confidence and adapt without engaging in behaviors that maintain anxiety over time.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is that anxiety is something that everyone experiences as part of life if they are on a path towards growth and fulfillment.  Based on this notion, there is nothing to be ashamed of with regard to your symptoms.  Anxiety becomes a problem when it becomes a barrier to one’s functioning, happiness or freedom.  We believe in helping anxiety sufferers find the strength within to break free and that confidence is discovered through putting our techniques into action.
