About Dr. Gordon
My approach to psychotherapy is empathic, goal-directed, and collaborative. I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which patients feel comfortable and understood. I work with each patient to identify the thoughts and behaviors that are maintaining his or her symptoms and I use a variety of cutting-edge techniques to achieve both quick symptom relief and long-lasting change. My goal is to create a warm and supportive space where patients can learn new skills to transform their lives.
I know that coming to therapy can feel overwhelming, so I work with patients to assess their level of readiness for change and to move the therapy along at a pace that feels both comfortable and productive. I work collaboratively with my patients to identify their goals, and then guide them in making gradual changes to help them accomplish these goals. I provide specific techniques, tools, and support to patients as they work to reduce their symptoms and change their lives.
I treat individuals with a wide variety of concerns, including:
I specialize in providing evidence-based psychotherapy using techniques that have been demonstrated to be effective in psychological research. I tailor treatment to each individual client and draws on a variety of modalities, including:

I regularly attend conferences and participate in consultation groups to ensure that I am up-to-date on the latest effective psychotherapy techniques. I am also a member of several professional organizations, including:
