Background

About Lisa Bateman

I specialize in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other primary anxiety disorders. I also provide CBT for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), stress, depression, and body dysmorphia. I also specialize in providing Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g, excoriation, trichotillomania) and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) for tic disorders. I have experience in providing individual, group, and family therapy in a variety of settings, as well as experience working with all ages. I believe in providing treatment that has both empirical and clinical support for its effectiveness, and I work with clients to tailor a treatment plan to specific to their goals. I provide treatment in the office as well as in other environments (e.g, home visit, off site) when in-vivo practice of skills is beneficial for change and success. I focus on recognizing and building upon strengths and utilizing positive reinforcement for engagement in treatment and accomplishment of goals. I understand that therapy, especially ERP, is effective yet arduous, and I work with clients to build and maintain motivation to persevere with the challenging task of overcoming anxiety.
