Emily Vinych (she/her/hers)

I have been working with anxiety-spectrum disorders since beginning my clinical work in 2018. I have undergone an extensive amount of trainings related to anxiety and the treatment of anxiety, and I am also trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, an evidence-based approach to the treatment and management of anxiety.

I have also been working with OCD since beginning my clinical work in 2018. Similarly to anxiety, I have undergone an extensive amount of trainings related to OCD, the treatment of OCD, and the many nuances that show up with this disorder. In addition to being trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, I am also trained in exposure and response prevention (ERP) which is the gold-standard for OCD treatment.

Not only am I experienced in working with social phobias, I am also trained and experienced in working with other phobias as well. Similarly to OCD, exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the most effective form of therapy when treating any sort of phobia.

In short, cognitive behavioral therapy looks at your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps you re-evaluate and think about life experiences from a different, oftentimes healthier perspective. This is typically the approach I use when clients are seeking help for their generalized anxiety.

Exposure and response prevention is the gold standard treatment for OCD, and helps individuals challenge their intrusive, oftentimes frightening thoughts and learn to tolerate and manage them in a way to live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) uses acceptance and mindfulness techniques mixed in different ways with commitment and behavior-change strategies to increase psychological flexibility and live a more value-driven life. I typically use this approach for any presenting issue a client may have, as it is an evidence-based approach for a wide variety of mental health disorders (including but not limited to anxiety, OCD, depression, and addiction).
