Michelle Litwer

I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults (16+) manage anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum concerns/fertility issues, emotion dysregulation, increase pleasure and mastery, and feel more confident engaging in their lives. I have intensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches such as CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma treatments such as prolonged exposure (PE) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) to help clients live more fulfilling lives, become unstuck, and build a life worth living. My main objective is to help clients manage their emotions and make decisions that are line with their goals/values. My areas of specialization include anxiety and OCD disorders (phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety), emotion dysregulation difficulties, navigating life transitions, and working with individuals in the perinatal/postpartum period. I strongly believe that my clients benefit most from learning tools they can use in the moment when feeling distressed. My style is gentle and warm, yet direct, irreverent, nonjudgmental, sprinkling humor in.
