From Dr. Busch:
“I specialize in, and absolutely love, providing client centered and empirically supported treatments for anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Therapeutic interventions in my approach are integrative and tailored to my client’s individual needs, constellation of presenting symptoms, personality, cultural background, and treatment preferences. I am thoroughly dedicated to caring for my clients, helping them develop more balanced and hopeful perspectives, and empowering them to overcome adversity and maximize their potential.”
