ERP Therapist in NYC

Exposure and Response Prevention therapy is a targeted approach to treating anxiety and OCD by addressing the relationship between fear and avoidance. The process begins with identifying specific triggers that cause distress, followed by controlled exposure to these triggers in a safe and supportive setting. By resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors, clients gradually reduce their anxiety levels and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

At Mindset Psychology, our ERP therapists in NYC follow a systematic process to ensure effective and comfortable treatment:

Initial Assessment: During your first session, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment to understand your history, symptoms, and goals. This step helps us gain a clear picture of your challenges and design a program tailored to your needs.

Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, your therapist will create a step-by-step ERP program. This includes identifying specific exposures, establishing goals, and setting a pace that matches your comfort level.

Controlled Exposures: During therapy sessions, you’ll participate in exposure exercises designed to confront fears while preventing compulsive behaviors. These exercises are conducted gradually to ensure you feel supported throughout the process.

Skill Development: Alongside exposures, you’ll learn practical tools and strategies to manage anxiety, build emotional resilience, and handle triggers effectively in daily life.

Through this structured approach, ERP therapy helps you break free from the cycle of anxiety and compulsion, allowing you to reclaim your mental and emotional well-being.
