I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
CBT is considered the preferred, first-line, evidence-based treatment for social anxiety. My downtown location lends itself to completing therapist-accompanied real world exposures with my clients. I believe exposure work to be at the core of effective treatment for SAD. I also provide group therapy for social anxiety, help clients develop the skills of making "small talk," and work to increase their levels of self-esteem and confidence.
