How We Help Using Evidence-Based Therapy
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, evidence-based treatment for anxiety and panic disorders. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and challenge distorted thinking that fuels worry and panic. By learning practical strategies to reduce avoidance and manage anxiety, clients often notice relief within a few sessions.
We help adults, parents, professionals, and teens across Bergen County towns like Saddle River, Ridgewood, Tenafly, Wyckoff, Englewood, Alpine, and Ho-Ho-Kus regain control, calm, and confidence in daily life. CBT is widely recognized as a first-line therapy for panic and anxiety, providing tools for lasting results and improved overall well-being.
2. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings rather than constantly fighting them. Many people with panic disorder try to push anxiety away or “force calm” through deep breathing or distraction, but this often strengthens the fear response over time. ACT helps you:
Stop struggling with anxiety
Respond more flexibly to panic triggers
Focus on living a meaningful life despite uncomfortable sensations
For example, instead of trying to stop a panic attack, ACT teaches you to observe the sensations without judgment, which reduces the intensity and fear associated with the experience.
3. Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy for anxiety and panic disorders. ERP works by gradually and safely exposing you to the situations or sensations that trigger fear, while helping you resist avoidance or safety behaviors. Over time, your brain learns that these experiences are not dangerous, and anxiety naturally decreases.
ERP is particularly effective for panic attacks, avoidance behaviors, health anxiety, and specific phobias. By addressing both the fear and avoidance patterns that maintain anxiety, ERP helps clients feel calmer, more confident, and in control, leading to lasting relief and improved daily functioning.
