This is the group practice that I co-own and co-direct! We’ve been providing evidence-informed personalized therapy for anxiety disorders, OCD, and related conditions across the lifespan since 1992 (obviously before I joined on in 2007. I’m not that old😂). We were founded by the amazing Sally Winston, PsyD who started this program in 1978 as the Agoraphobia Clinic at Sheppard Pratt Hospital before Panic Disorder was a recognized diagnosis in the DSM! We also have two Jerilyn Ross Clinician Advocate Award recipients working here, Sally who was the inaugural receipt and Carl Robbins who just won in 2025. We’re located in Towson, MD on the campus of Sheppard Pratt Hospital.
