In psychotherapy, Dr. Admoni works with adolescents and adults who want to address anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder), past traumatic experiences, and interpersonal/attachment concerns.
Her therapeutic approach is catered for each client. For those with anxiety disorders, she uses evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help her clients learn about the intersections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Much of therapy includes learning and trying out new ways of thinking, utilizing coping skills that emphasize regulating your nervous system, and safely exposing yourself to anxiety-provoking things in order to overcome your fears.
For clients who have experienced trauma and interpersonal/relational challenges, she uses trauma-focused CBT and psychodynamic therapy with an attachment lens. She aims to support her clients in processing their experiences, reclaiming their narratives, and connecting to their values. Dr. Admoni wants to help clients gain insight on root causes of distress, while also helping them explore how to engage in interpersonal relationships in healthier ways.
Her overall approach emphasizes feeling safe and having a strong therapeutic relationship. In session, Dr. Admoni tries to balance insight-oriented and skills-based approaches. She is active in teaching and helping clients develop new, healthy coping skills, in order to deal with stress better.
In addition to her therapy practice, Dr. Admoni provides neuropsychological assessment to adults in order to assess for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She assesses for different domains of functioning (i.e., cognitive, academic, language, learning/memory, attention/executive functioning, emotional, behavioral, adaptive) to get a comprehensive picture of one’s functioning and helps her clients access resources and accommodations. She particularly enjoys working with women and non-binary individuals who may have been misdiagnosed as children.
