Obsessive-compulsive disorder disrupts functioning due to anxiety-provoking intrusive thoughts and behaviors or rituals meant to reduce distress. However, the relief lasts a short period of time before the intrusive thought presents itself once more. Rituals may have been helpful in the past, but now take up too much time and energy.
I look forward to working with you to make positive changes in your life. I offer psycho-educational testing, neuropsychological assesment, and psychological and personality assessment, and psychotherapy. My office is located on Arthur Godfrey Road (also known as 41st Street) between Sheridan Avenue and Pine Tree Drive.
Anxiety is an emotion related to the Fear family of emotions. When a person experiences fear, they are recognizing a real threat in their environment. Fear keeps people safe by reasonably pointing out dangerous situations. When a person experiences anxiety they are inappropriately appraising too many threats in their environment or assuming that a negative outcome will happen.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the notion that our thoughts, our behaviors and our emotions are all connected. And one of the main things that we work on in psychotherapy is understanding our mistakes, in thinking we all make mistakes and thinking no one is perfect.
But when we can get more logical thoughts, more realistic expectations and more reasonable ways of looking at things, we can often have a more comfortable way of feeling and a more productive way of doing so.Dr. Calbeck uses CBT helps clients learn to distinguish between reasonable fears and unproductive anxiety.

Depressed feelings are related to loss, which can be actual (e.g., the loss of a loved one) or ethereal (the loss of potential). When people become depressed, they are overactive in appreciating losses in their environment and/or are expecting losses too often. Dr. Calbeck uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients differentiate normative sadness from mistakes in thinking leading us to expect losses, therefore, feeling unnecessarily sad.
