Empowering Anxiety Treatment
Dr. Shmaya (Steven)
Krinsky, PsyD
I’m Dr. Shmaya Krinsky, a licensed psychologist and the founder of Anxiety and Behavioral Health Psychotherapy. Anxiety can take control of your life, limiting activities that are important and meaningful. It can make your world feel smaller, prevent you from doing the things you want to do, and consume your day-to-day existence. You might find yourself avoiding social events, feeling paralyzed by fear in certain situations, or constantly worrying about things that others seem to handle with ease.

I started this practice specifically for clients like you because I understand how these conditions can impact your life. I was trained at the Rutgers Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology and completed a predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Anxiety in New York. With extensive clinical experience treating a wide range of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, I know firsthand how challenging these experiences can be...

SERVICES
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY
Evidence-based therapy that helps identify and challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. This is a helpful treatment for people experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
Mindfulness-based therapy that helps people develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept and embrace their thoughts and feelings instead of trying to change or control them. This is a helpful treatment for people experiencing anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE REVENTION
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of psychotherapy that aims to reduce anxiety by gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or objects. This is a helpful treatment for people experiencing phobias, OCD, and other related anxiety disorders.
INFERENTIAL COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Inference-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a specialized treatment for OCD that focuses on resolving obsessional doubts by addressing dysfunctional reasoning and teaching clients to trust their senses. Unlike standard CBT, I-CBT targets the root cause of obsessions without relying on prolonged exposure and response prevention (ERP).
