History
Established in 2010.
Light On Anxiety was developed by Dr. Debra Kissen to create a place where information on the most effective treatment for anxiety disorders can be obtained and the shame of living with anxiety can be lifted. Anxiety grows in the dark and recedes in the bright light of acceptance and openness.
The key to moving past anxiety is to move through anxiety. This is by definition not a pleasant journey. But it is powerfully transformational, as freedom can be found on the other side. Light On Anxiety is here to be your partner and guide, as you move past anxiety and into valued living.
Meet the Business Owner
Dr. Debra K.
Business Owner
Dr. Kissen is the Clinical Director of the Light on Anxiety Treatment Center. Dr. Kissen has a special interest in the principles of mindfulness and their application for anxiety disorders. Mindfulness based treatment for anxiety entails noting that which is uncomfortable, and then allowing these thoughts and sensations to pass, without clinging to them or attempting to eliminate them. Mindfulness can be contrasted to our normal reactions to that which is uncomfortable, where we try to eliminate or run from frightening material. Dr. Kissen works with clients to learn to mindfully observe all thoughts and sensations, whether they are labeled as «good» or «bad». Dr. Kissen has presented her research on mindfulness-based treatments at regional and national conferences.
