Services The staff at CBPsLI specialize in the diagnosis and cognitive-behavioral treatment of many psychological disorders and life problems. What we do at CBPSLI can therefore be broken down into two related parts, diagnosis (psychological assessment), and treatment. Correct diagnosis at the beginning of treatment (intake) is extremely important in order to focus treatment, so that the patient and therapist in collaboration have an understanding of the problem, and for professionals to communicate accurately about patients. Ongoing assessment of a patient’s difficulties and functioning in response to treatment are also essential for treatment to work effectively. For patients (children and adults) with behavior problems, a detailed functional behavioral assessment (FBA) is essential to effective treatment. To enhance educational advocacy, we offer comprehensive psychological testing of IQ, achievement and personality.

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED

Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is a natural and helpful emotion that helps us to discern and react to real danger. Anxiety disorders happen when the emotional response is excessive and/or not appropriate to the situation. Patients with these disorders often magnify the level of danger in a situation, and worry excessively about these dangers while disqualifying their own ability to manage them. Cognitive behavioral therapy employs thought restructuring and exposure based techniques to facilitate accurate interpretations of stressful situations and to build one’s skills and beliefs in their ability to face difficult situations. These strategies encourage people to face fear and build a higher tolerance for anxiety and worrying, which then allows them to reach their longer-term goals.

Panic Disorder: Panic Disorder is characterized by seemingly "out of the blue" surges of fear, a sense of impending death, bodily injury, or doom. The sudden rush of fear occurs with a high degree of anxious arousal and physiological symptoms that may include: racing or pounding heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, a feeling of choking, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or abdominal discomfort, dizziness or lightheadedness, a sense of things being unreal, a fear of losing control or "going crazy", a fear of dying, tingling sensations and/or chills or hot flashes. Additionally, panic sufferers experience persistent concern about future panic attacks and may worry about behavioral or lifestyle changes made in attempts to cope with the attacks. As noted, many people with panic also begin to avoid places or situations where they have experienced panic attacks or situations where they anticipate feeling anxious. This avoidance sometimes leads to what is called Agoraphobia, or being trapped at home. Agoraphobia complicates panic because the person's world gradually becomes smaller and their panic worsens as they avoid more and more.

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) : SAD involves intense fear of being scrutinized (looked at or examined closely) and negatively evaluated by others in social or performance situations. People who suffer from SAD are terrified that they will act in a way that will be embarrassing or humiliating. People with social anxiety often focus their attention on monitoring their own anxiety symptoms and behaviors in social situations instead of concentrating on the actual social interaction. Social anxiety can interfere significantly with daily routines, occupational performance or social life and limit a person's ability to be happy and thrive.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) : OCD is characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that people experience as intrusive and disturbing and that cause anxiety or distress. Obsessions are not just excessive worries about real life problems. People who suffer from OCD usually recognize their obsessions as internally generated (as opposed to hallucinations and delusions), irrational, and unwanted, but cannot resist them nonetheless. The person with OCD attempts to ignore, suppress, or neutralize these obsessive thoughts through the use of compulsions. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform according to rigid personal rules. Compulsions are aimed at neutralizing distress associated with obsessional thoughts, images or impulses or to prevent some dreaded event. For example a person who has an obsessive fear of contamination c

Horrible. Demanded I take pills.

Wow, this was the most arrogant judgmental “therapist” I have ever met. I really should have read these reviews before I wasted my time. This man judged me with in 20 minutes as bipolar (which I know I am not) and told me to exercise more. This is a dangerous person who blames women for the marriage issues (after 20 minutes!). He was arguing with me and after I explained why I was there, he said “well here’s my card if you want to come back”.

Please, if you need help, do NOT go to this man. He is a dangerous therapist who criticized my previous therapist as “unprofessional”. I really think someone needs to have a good look at his license. I would not be surprised if he actually is a fake.
