Dr. Harlan Juster

Anxiety is often a barrier to living a meaningful life. My practice focuses on treating individuals struggling with anxiety disorders (panic, social, and generalized anxiety) and related disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and PTSD. I use evidence-based methods, some of which I helped develop. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology and have published articles on the nature and treatment of the anxiety disorders. Let's talk about what's holding you back from realizing your potential.

Treating anxiety disorders with cognitive-behavioral methods is backed by decades of research. It is typically your current efforts to cope with anxiety that are blocking you from more meaningful experiences in life. Escape and avoidance are common reactions to anxiety which provide short-term relief but long-term problems. The strategies I use can effectively remove those blocks and open you up to a new way of living. Adding an Acceptance and Commitment modality improves the therapy experience by focusing on your personal values while reducing the negative effects of anxiety.

We will work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that fits your current needs and personal style. I will walk you through the change steps at your pace as we begin to dismantle and undermine what maintains anxiety, piece by piece, reducing distress and improving your quality of life. Let's talk about what's holding you back.
