Hello! Welcome to Brandywine Psychology

You may be here because you or your child is struggling with managing difficult emotions, repetitive behaviors or you are feeling stuck and overwhelmed. You may have read tons of recommendations but are not sure exactly what will help. Please know, there are tested interventions that work for OCD, anxiety disorders, and hair pulling or skin picking. We specialize in these concerns and have worked with children and adults with these for more than 15 years. You or your child deserve to work with someone who is an expert and can help you achieve results quickly!

At Brandywine Psychology, we specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other research tested interventions to help you break free from social isolation, stigma, and depression that OCD, anxiety, or eating disorders can cause.  Research tested interventions have been studied using clinical trials to make sure they work and that they are safe for kids. Many of our treatments involve exposure or behavior experiments where we practice doing the hard things together. We also specialize in working with kids and teens so we know how important it is to make therapy fun and engaging. Dr. Cammarata has worked in several children’s hospitals and pediatric primary care practices throughout the country and has learned how to engage even the toughest little person. This may mean our sessions occur outside of the therapy room and in real life settings. We want to help you get your life back and we have the extensive experience in using science backed techniques to help you do just that! 

We provide OCD therapy, anxiety treatment, ARFID/feeding therapy, BFRBs, parenting support, and eating disorders for children, teens, and young adults. I am a child/adolescent and young adult clinical psychologist and I offer consultation and therapy appointments via telehealth using a secure internet platform or in person. Telehealth allows me and my clients flexibility in scheduling and means I can work with clients located in any psypact participating state. I can also offer in-person appointments at my location in North Wilmington, and Hockessin, Delaware. If you have any question about in person versus telehealth, please do not hesitate to reach out. 

How to Choose a Therapist

It is important to choose a therapist that understands OCD and anxiety and has extensive experience providing E/RP and evidence-based practices. Treatment with a specialist is sometimes more costly but can help you improve quicker and over a shorter amount of time resulting in less financial and emotional resources over the long term. You will want to ask clinicians what techniques they use and make sure they discuss CBT or exposure/response prevention. Also, if they say they use CBT but are not more specific ask more questions until you are sure they are well trained to work with OCD. Find out about their training and background or what percentage of their caseload consists of OCD clients. Call or schedule a free consultation today. If we are not the right fit, we will help you find someone who is. We can also discuss ways to help with OON insurance reimbursement to help you get the therapy you need!

About Dr. Cammarata

My name is Dr. Chrissy Cammarata, and I am a licensed and board-certified psychologist. I specialize in therapy and assessment of anxiety and OCD spectrum behaviors and eating disorders. I have experience working with OCD, BFRB’s, and anxiety related concerns across the lifespan for over 15 years.  I enjoy working with families and individuals. I often work with parents and caregivers learn to more successfully support their young adult children who are struggling with things like OCD, life transitions, eating disorders, panic/anxiety. Before transitioning to private practice I was a pediatric psychologist and clinical director of the Youth Mood and Anxiety Program at Nemours Children’s Hospital working with families and kids with anxiety, eating/feeding concerns, and young kids with disruptive behaviors.

I grew up in Michigan and graduated with my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Central Michigan University (Fire up Chips!).  I am a member of the American Psychological Association (APA), Academy of Eating Disorders (AED), Anxiety and Depression Association of America, (ADAA), International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and in addition to completing a fellowship at University of Florida's Center for OCD and Anxiety Related Disorders (Go Gators!), I completed additional training through IOCDF's Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI). I am also a certified PCIT therapist and Within Agency Trainer through PCIT International.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 2 boys, and collecting pictures of cats that I would adopt if my son wasn’t allergic.
