Phil Small (he/him)

I specialize in evidence-based anxiety management, treatment, and prevention.

Left untreated, depression often worsens until it becomes quite difficult to approach. Using cognitive and behavioral tools, we can create a plan that works for you.

Relationships are our most prized "possessions", and it can often be difficult to have an appropriate space with friends or family to discuss complexities of one's relationship in depth and openly. Addressing communication issues, boundaries, and getting one's needs met in a relationship can dramatically improve quality of life.

My therapeutic orientation is rooted in cognitive-behavioral techniques, which is an approachable, evidence-based therapy style that can help provide structure for care, helpful goals, and rapid symptom reduction. CBT is flexible and can be tailored for your specific circumstances, and it provides useful language to understand and identify common thinking patterns.

I have been fortunate to gain specialized training and mentorship in a variety of approaches to therapy, including cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and ACT, among others. I draw from multiple approaches in order to provide the tools and space necessary for you to grow.

Interpersonal therapy offers a helpful way of naming and addressing dynamics that can develop in any relationship. Issues related to grief, social roles, and identity can be understood and addressed using this approach.

Exposure therapy is an approachable, evidence-based practice to address and rapidly improve symptoms of anxiety, phobia, and panic. Clients who complete their exposure-based treatment tend to experience relief, pride, and improved self-esteem.
