About

Dr. Nicole Wildstein uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention therapy (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach patients specific, life-long skills that can improve one’s ability to cope with challenging emotions and resist unhelpful behaviors. She has extensive experience treating panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, body-focused repetitive behaviors (hair-pulling and skin-picking), binge eating, and substance use issues. Her sweet spot is helping college students and young adults, but she has broad experience with teenagers and adults throughout the lifespan (ages 13+). Her patients often note her authentic style, insight, and helpful sense of humor.
