Treatment for Phobias

Northart Counseling offers insights into effective treatments and the path towards reclaiming a life unburdened by fear. I am dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of clinical phobias, where the complexities often remain hidden beneath the surface. These profound fears are not mere apprehensions; they are visceral, incapacitating, and can severely impact an individual's life.


Here are what clinical phobias can look like in a person's life:


  • Overwhelming anxiety, leading to constant worry and distress.


  • Disruption of daily activities, impeding the ability to engage in regular activities.


  • Avoidance behaviors -- going to great lengths to avoid triggers, which can hinder personal and professional growth.


  • Physical Symptoms -- Phobias may manifest with physical symptoms such as panic attacks, rapid heart rate, and sweating.


  • Social Isolation --The fear associated with phobias can lead to social withdrawal and isolation, impacting relationships.

If you or someone you know finds themselves ensnared in the grip of clinical phobias, do not hesitate to reach out for help. My specialized expertise in exposure therapy treatments can pave the way towards liberation from these debilitating fears. 


At Northart Counseling, you can expect a personalized treatment plan that is unique to your fears and situation. I provide unwavering support and understanding throughout the therapeutic journey, with a track record of successful outcomes that help you overcome the restraints of your phobias. By confronting your fears through evidence-based exposure therapy, you can embrace a future free from the limitations of phobias.

How Therapy Can Help

  • Inhibitory Learning: Exposure therapy reshapes the brain's response to phobic triggers, "updating" how the brain associates fear.


  • Gradual Exposure: Therapy employs a controlled, step-by-step approach, reducing anxiety and building confidence through incremental exposure.


  • Fear Extinction: Exposure therapy promotes the extinction of fear responses, leading to reduced phobia-related distress over time.


  • Cognitive Restructuring: In our time together, we will reframe negative thought patterns and challenge unhelpful thoughts associated with phobias.


  • Sustainable Results: Exposure therapy offers lasting results, fostering new learning and adaptive behaviors for managing anxiety in various life situations.

How Therapy Works

I utilize exposure-based therapy, integrated with the psychological flexibility model of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to promote resilliency in my patients. This helps make the discomfort of exposures not an intolerable torture session, but a meaningful journey instead! Reach out for more information.
