Our Specializations:

At Brandywine Psychology, we specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other scientifically tested interventions. Our expert team, led by Dr. Chrissy Cammarata, a licensed and board-certified psychologist, is equipped to address a wide range of mental health issues, including:

- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

- Anxiety Disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, panic, phobias, social anxiety)

- Eating Disorders (including anorexia and ARFID)

- Body-focused Repetitive Behaviors (such as trichotillomania)

Dr. Cammarata brings over 15 years of experience and specialized training, including a fellowship at the University of Florida's Center for OCD and Anxiety Related Disorders. She is committed to helping clients and their families navigate complex mental health challenges.

Our Approach:

We understand that seeking help can be daunting due to the stigma surrounding mental health. At Brandywine Psychology, we strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts and feelings. Our therapists employ humor and validation to make even the most challenging emotions approachable.

Evidence-Based Treatments:

We prioritize treatments that have been proven effective through scientific research. Our therapies include:

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

- Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP)

- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

- Comprehensive Behavior Intervention for Tics/Tourette Syndrome (CBIT)

- Family Based Therapy (FBT)

- Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)

These interventions are designed to help clients develop long-term coping skills and break free from harmful patterns.

Family Involvement:

Understanding the importance of family support, we collaborate with caregivers to empower them in supporting their loved ones' recovery. For youth with restrictive eating disorders, Family Based Therapy is the gold standard, and we work closely with pediatricians to ensure comprehensive care.
