Dr. Nechia DeKryger, Registered Psychologist

Verified by N49

I'm a Registered Psychologist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, stress, and mood disorders in adults, adolescents, and children. These include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, specific phobias, and depression. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-based approach found to be effective in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders. If you are interested in an active, goal-directed treatment to help you or your child manage worries, fears, difficult emotions, or anxious behaviors more effectively, then CBT may be right for you.

My experience in helping adolescents and children learn skills to better manage their anxiety, stems directly from my Ph.D. work in childhood perfectionism. Therapy can empower both parents and children to actively face fears and learn new, more adaptive ways of relating to each other and the world.

I have received specialized training in the delivery of empirically supported treatments for anxiety disorders and depression in Canada and the United States. I have published in the area of anxiety disorders and have presented my research at numerous international conferences. I also provide workshops in the area of anxiety.
