The Center for Anxiety Disorders: Who are we?

The Center for Anxiety Disorders is a group of highly trained clinicians who specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with an emphasis on Exposure and Ritual Prevention — or ERP. We are located in Brookfield, WI and serve all of the Milwaukee-metro area.

ERP is empirically validated as the treatment of choice for anxiety disorders*, with the goal of reducing symptoms and not just learning how to manage anxiety. Our therapists are trained to develop an individual treatment plan made for our patient’s specific symptoms of anxiety, as no two patients present the same. We utilize ERP for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder with and without Agoraphobia, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
