How Much Does Specialized Treatment Cost?

The most expensive option is treatment that doesn’t work

Focused, high-impact treatment — not open-ended talk therapy.
Most clients who come to this practice have already spent months or years stuck in anxiety, reassurance-seeking, or approaches that didn’t fully address the fear cycles. ERP works by targeting that cycle directly, with structured sessions and real-world practice.


Working with a therapist who specializes in ERP means less trial-and-error, fewer wasted sessions, and faster movement toward meaningful change. For many clients, this results in greater progress per session — and often fewer sessions overall.
