#Eating disorder treatment # OCD therapy Wilmington ARFID
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, or even just "failure to launch."
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 husband and our 2 boys and collecting pictures of cats that I would adopt if my son wasn’t allergic.
It can be hard to take the first step to work with a psychologist. Often conditions like OCD or other emotional concerns go untreated due to the shame and stigma about seeking help. That's why I create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can share and learn to understand their thoughts and feelings. My style is compassionate and irreverent. I use humor and validation to bring hard to face feelings into the light. Plus, I test our work along the way. I want to use techniques that work so, together, we can get you back to your life!
Specialized Expertise: Psychologists earn doctoral degrees and have training in understanding the current science and the best interventions for problems young people face. Dr. Cammarata is board-certified which means completing additional peer -reviewed evaluation of expertise.
Evidence-based Therapy- It is important to us that you see results. We don't guess at what will help young people, we use what has been tested by science.
Our anxiety and OCD treatments are designed to help clients overcome anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic, phobias, OCD, and social anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) have research to suggest that they work to improve symptoms and develop long-term coping skills. These interventions can help you break free from obsessions and uncomfortable sensations and rituals.
Family Based Therapy is the gold standard for youth with restricting eating disorders. We collaborate with your pediatrician and empower you as parents to support your teen's recovery.
We also offer CBT for ARFID across the lifespan to help you or your child become a competent eater and gain more control over life and how the body is nourished.
Trichotillomania (Trich), is a Body-focused Repetitive Behavior Disorder (BFRB) often referred to as “hair-pulling disorder,” that affects millions of people. Trich and other BFRB's can cause intense shame and anxiety as well as impact one's appearance and self-esteem. Psychologists trained in effective treatments like comprehensive Behavioral Treatment (ComB), habit reversal training, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can help reduce these behaviors and help you feel good about yourself again. Medication, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), may also be prescribed in certain cases.
