Struggling with anxiety? Many of us have noticed an increase in worried thoughts and avoidance during the past several years, especially in the face of ongoing COVID-19. This episode shares some straight-forward approaches to help you cope with these experiences.

If you or a loved one is suffering from anxiety, don't miss my conversation with Dr. Lily Brown, PhD, the director of the Center for Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Lily Brown received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology at Drexel University and her Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology and Learning and Behavior Psychology at UCLA.  

Dr. Brown’s current research focuses on treatments to mitigate suicide risk in patients with anxiety disorders and PTSD.  She specializes in CBT for anxiety disorders, including Exposure and Response prevention for OCD.
