As a certified anxiety therapist, I have extensive training using the most effective treatment models for anxiety which are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy ( ERP).
Hello! My name is Kara and I specialize in working with individuals who have anxiety disorders. Anxiety comes in many forms. Whether it's panic attacks, social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, phobias or just generally being in a constant state of worry, it's all overwhelming. Anxiety keeps us stuck. It prevents us from going after the things we want and doing the things we love. However, when using the right tools, you can find relief and start living your life according to you – not your anxiety.

Additionally, we have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy ( ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.
My approach to treating OCD is warm but direct; my goal is to help you become your own therapist. Creating art—especially ceramics and painting—and skiing are my big passions in life. I became a therapist, first and foremost, to help people who are struggling. When I was younger, I went through a very difficult time with my health. That led me to pause my life and examine how I was coping with stress and anxiety. It was part of a life-changing journey that inspired me to become a mental health counselor and art therapist.

I use evidence-based therapies in my practice, including CBT, exposure therapy, HRT, ERP, and PE.
Hi there! I'm Dr. Hillary Ammon. I founded the Center for Anxiety and Women’s Emotional Wellness to provide specialized, effective treatment to these populations. After years of working within hospital settings, most recently at the University of Pennsylvania, I decided to take my own advice and live a life that better aligns with my values, by striking a balance of work and family life and creating this private practice. I am passionate about working with women and clients with anxiety, both unique populations, and providing evidence-based, yet tailored-care, and a virtual space to reflect, approach, problem-solve, and change.
