This page describes training opportunites provided by the Center for Anxiety™ for mental health professionals. Anxiety is often highly treatable without medication, and even severe and impairing symptoms can be effectively managed with a course of evidence-based psychological treatment. However, many mental health professionls receive limited training in how to effectively treat anxiety symptoms. The Center for Anxiety is therefore dedicated to the dissemination of cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety symptoms.

Supervision in Anxiety Treatment

Workshops are an important forum to develop initial familiarity with a clinical approach, however learning the nuances of how to practice evidence-based treatment requires more in depth study and ongoing supervision on actual cases. The Center for Anxiety therefore offers supervision for licensed and license-eligible practitioners who are currently providing psychotherapy to a caseload either privately or in the context of a healthcare/community setting. Supervisee will hone their clinical skills in anxiety treatment through specific direction and feedback in how to effectively deliver cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and related symptoms. Supervisees will also learn when and how to integrate spirituality into treatment, where appropriate. Please email for more information.
