Therapists for Fears & Phobias
March 2006
Hi BPN,
I have a severe phobia of vomitting (called emetophobia), which
is becoming more and more disruptive to my daily life now that
I have a small child in daycare. Does anyone have any
suggestions for treatment centers, therapists, or anyone else
who has experience working with phobia
treatment/desensitization?
Thanks!

For phobia-related stuff, go to the San Francisco Bay Area
Center for Cognitive Therapy (5435 College Avenue, Oakland),
phone (510) 652-4455. They're the experts.

See the archives for recommendations for the wonderful
San Francisco Bay Area
Center for Cognitive Therapy (in Rockridge) -- also see advice under Cognitive-
Behavioral Therapy. I kicked a phobia in a matter of months with CBT, and spent a
little longer reducing generalized anxiety.

Does anyone know a therapist or clinic that specializes in
phobia cures? I have heard of types of therapy for phobias that
are very quick and effective when there are aren't a lot of
other issues to be worked out.

You might want to try the
Bay Area Center for Cognitive
Therapy. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is the most effective
treatment available for help with phobias, and we're lucky to
have one of the premier centers for research, education and
treatment in the Bay Area right here in Oakland. They can be
reached at 510 652-4455 or online at http://www.sfbacct.com/
I hope this helps!
