Netta Admoni, Ph.D.
I work with adults who want to address anxiety, depression, and relational concerns. My therapeutic approach is catered for each client.
I specialize in anxiety disorders, including GAD, social anxiety, OCD and perinatal/postpartum anxiety. I use evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help my clients learn how to navigate unhelpful thoughts, learn new ways of thinking, and regulate their nervous system. Much of therapy includes also helping my clients try new things that are anxiety-provoking for them, in order to overcome fears.
For relational challenges, I help clients process early life experiences, understand how the past connects with the present, and connect to their values. I want to help my clients gain insight on root causes of distress, while also engaging in healthier meaningful relationships now.
My style is warm and collaborative. In session, I try to balance insight-oriented and skills-based approaches. I am active in teaching and helping clients develop new, healthy coping skills, in order to deal with stress better. I integrate feminist and multicultural approaches, and strive to help explore the impacts of oppression, privilege, and societal expectations, on mental health.
In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I also offer animal-assisted therapy with my dog, Charlotte. Interacting with a therapy animal can be incredibly helpful and assistive in anxiety and depression treatment.
