The Anxiety Center at Renew offers effective, research-based treatment for anxiety issues when individual counseling is not enough. The state of the art intensive outpatient programs teach clients to accept anxiety, choose to move beyond it and take action using evidence-based treatment options (ACT, DBT-S, ERP and MBCT). It is time to stop striving and start living again. It is time to do something for you, to get you back. You are worth fighting for.

Evidence Based Treatments

ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

ACT represents the most current and innovative third generation behavior therapy available for therapists. ACT de-emphasizes elimination of anxiety as a therapeutic goal. It brings renewed attention to acceptance, mindfulness, and destructive language conventions and self-regulation tendencies that keep people stuck. At its core, ACT for anxiety disorders emphasizes helping clients clarify their values-what they want their lives to be about-and then committing to move toward those values.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT-S)

Indicated particularly for those with social anxiety, including school refusal. If focuses on interpersonal skills, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and mindfulness, thus facilitating more robust and fulfilling social interactions and self-perception.

Exposure & Response Prevention

A treatment method available for a variety of anxiety disorders, especially Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The method is based on the notion that a therapeutic effect is achieved as clients confront their fears and discontinue their escape response. An example would be of a person who fears touching door knobs. The person would carry out a program or exposure to their feared stimulus (touching a doorknob) while refusing to engage in any safety behaviors (e.g., hand washing). Exposure therapy for phobia operates in much the same way as ERP by exposing the individual to the feared object until symptom reduction is achieved.

Mindful-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindful Based Cognitive Therapy increases one’s social contact with the present moment. This serves to reduce the symptoms of anxiety. Anxious thoughts and symptoms are typically future-based, and often beg the questions, “what if?” Increasing one’s contact with the current moment serves to quiet worry about what is going to happen in the future. Like all modes of contextually based treatment strategies, MBCT encourages clients to accept and endure unpleasant moments as part of life.

This group also sets the tone for the day by helping you set daily treatment goals. A mindfulness exercise will be used daily to help you practice attending to the present moment.

Founder & Executive Director

Hope starts now.

I had the privilege to start Renew Counseling Center in 2005 with a vision to help restore and inspire wholeness to those who are struggling. I started an Intensive Outpatient Program working with eating disorders in 2010. Seeing the need for excellent services in anxiety disorders I transitioned to the Anxiety Center at Renew's IOP in 2017. I believe by learning new coping skills, embracing one’s authentic self, with compassion and relationship support, one can change and enjoy the life they were made to live. I also provides supervision to graduate counseling students as well as licensed professional counselors toward their clinical license. Outside of Renew I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, journaling, photography and art.
