Woythaler, Keith PHD

Welcome to the practice of Dr. Keith Woythaler, Ph. D., a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and related conditions. I am dedicated to helping individuals in Nassau County and the surrounding areas to lead fulfilling lives by providing evidence-based therapy tailored to their unique needs. With over a decade of experience in direct therapeutic services, I am committed to helping adults, children, and families overcome the challenges of mental illness.

Treatment

At the heart of my practice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a widely used and evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. CBT helps identify unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behaviors and develops more effective coping strategies. I also utilize aspects of other therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), when clinically relevant. While CBT is my foundational approach, I believe in tailoring treatment to the individual's needs, ensuring the most effective and personalized care.

For OCD and related disorders, I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a specific form of CBT. ERP involves purposefully confronting thoughts, images, and situations that make you anxious while learning to willfully choose not to engage in compulsive behaviors. This approach is considered the "Gold Standard" of treatment for OCD and has been proven to decrease anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, allowing you to live life on your terms.

Conditions Treated

I am experienced in treating various psychological disorders, including OCD, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, and mood disorders such as Major Depression. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to construct an individualized treatment plan and help you achieve your goals, regardless of the challenges you face.

Services & Fees

I offer a sliding fee scale based on income and family size, ensuring that quality mental health care is accessible to all. My services include initial consultations, individual therapy sessions, and ongoing support. I accept various insurance plans and can provide you with detailed information about coverage and fees during our initial consultation.

I understand that seeking therapy can be difficult, and finding the right therapist can be even harder. With my expertise and personalized approach, you can trust that I will be dedicated to helping you become the best version of yourself.
