Oxana Stebbins, Ph.D., LP

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of the Anxiety & OCD Treatment Center. I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, and OCD. I also have an interest in bringing scientifically supported treatments that are culturally adapted to Christians or others with a religious/spiritual identity. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and expertise to provide updated, quality services. I have presented at several national conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, and continue to prioritize maintaining scholarly engagement. I am licensed in FL, MN, PA, and have the authority to practice in most states through PSYPACT. I lead a consultation and networking group for Christian clinicians treating anxiety disorders and OCD using exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy. Inquire if you are a clinician interested in joining.

I completed specialized training in mood and anxiety disorders during my postdoctoral fellowship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with youth and their families at an OCD intensive outpatient program (IOP) at the Seattle Children's Hospital during my doctoral studies at Seattle Pacific University, where I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I trained in full model Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), emotion dysregulation, and suicidal behavior during my internship at the Ann Arbor VA. There, I also trained in interventions for substance use disorders, depression and anxiety disorders, completed neuropsychological assessments, and worked with individuals having comorbid PTSD. I have worked in a broad range of settings, including primary care clinics, state hospital (Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity), private practice, and with young children with behavioral problems through the Incredible Years program.

I am an integrative cognitive behavioral therapist. This means that I see the connections between several therapeutic modalities that all fit under the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) umbrella, and I integrate these according to the needs of the client. Integrated therapeutic modalities include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), ERP, and DBT. I also conceptualizes a "map" of the transdiagnostic ("across disorders") mechanisms that maintain a client's problems, which serves as our treatment road map. Throughout treatment, the client's emotional experience is emphasized for optimal change, growth, and learning.

I am a capital "B" CBT therapist. Clients often get to their goals faster and progress is more efficient when they are encouraged to do different behaviors that connect with their valued goals, which then expedites and assists with the learning process (i.e., cognitive change).

In my personal time, I am kept busy by my two children (a highly energetic toddler and infant) and husband. I love spending time with family, adventuring and exploring, traveling, trying new foods, being in the outdoors (e.g., hiking, snorkeling), baking, and reading. I like humor.
