Ampersand CBT      

The human experience is complicated! Big life changes, difficult emotions, and behaviors we don’t like all influence our day to day and can leave us feeling disconnected from what is important to us. I’m Philippa Panayiotou, licensed mental health counselor and anxiety specialist. I would love the opportunity to work with you on finding ways to respond flexibly and intentionally to these difficult experiences and help you come closer to the life you want. 

At Ampersand CBT, emphasis is put on the AND of life, instead of the BUT. We can put intention into cultivating the “and” of life to open up to experiences we might find intimidating. We can feel afraid and behave bravely, feel anxious and slow down, feel angry and communicate well. There is room for all of what you feel, and space to decide how to respond.

I utilize evidence based treatments and specialize in treating OCD, anxiety, phobias, and eating disorders. I am also experienced in treating skin picking and other body focused repetitive behaviors. I am committed to providing a warm, collaborative environment where we work together to learn skills, make change, connect to who and what is important to you!
