Dr. Rena Beth Zweben

I have over 25 years of experience working with school age children, adolescents and adults. My primary focus is working with people with a variety of anxiety disorders including panic disorder, phobias and OCD. I also work with people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Adjustment Issues and Mood Disorders. I assist with parenting issues and behavior management strategies and generally take a problem solving approach to many of the issues my patients encounter. My approach to working with anxiety disorders is largely cognitive behavioral in nature. I do exposure work and, in the case of OCD, response prevention. I teach strategies to cope with the anxiety. When people come to me to work on their anxiety problems, I work "in vivo." That means that if you have difficulty with anxiety while driving, then I take you driving. If you have OCD regarding germs, I expose you to germs. This is all done in a safe, supportive environment.
