Dr. Emily Brooks

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Anxiety Care Center LLC, a practice focused on providing evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders, OCD, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). My professional background includes a post-doctoral fellowship at the CBT Center for Anxiety and OCD, and an APA-accredited clinical internship with the VA Maryland Health Care System, where I specialized in trauma psychology. I am passionate about contributing to the field of psychology and am an active member of the Pennsylvania Psychological Association (PPA) and the American Psychological Association (APA).

I am a Cognitive Behavioral psychologist and I use a combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to tailor individual therapy to a person's unique values and goals.

I value and prioritize authenticity and autonomy and work with transparency out of respect to you. My goal is to teach you to become your own anxiety therapist and tailor a multitude of clinical skills and techniques to your individual symptoms and preferences. Exposure therapy is hard work and I use a combination of compassion and encouraging humor to help make the process as fun and empowering as possible.
