I have work experience from, among others, the depression department at Modum Bad, Lovisenberg DPS and the OCD spectrum outpatient clinic. In addition, I have worked for two years in private practice with a focus on therapy aimed at anxiety problems.
I have specialized in the treatment of various types of anxiety disorders and have specialist expertise in the treatment of panic disorder, social anxiety, obsessions and compulsions and health anxiety.
From the OCD spectrum outpatient clinic at Gaustad Hospital, I gained a lot of experience in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and am certified in 4-day treatment (B4DT). I also have a background from Angstklinikken, a private clinic specializing in anxiety treatment.
Some anxiety disorders respond best to talk therapy, while other times exposure to feared situations may be the most effective approach. That is why I attach great importance to providing support throughout the therapy process, so that you can feel safe in the face of what you fear.
In addition, I have experience in treating most conditions, including depression, relational difficulties, low self-esteem, work life problems and burnout.
I currently specialize in Intensive Short-Term Psychodynamic Therapy (ISTDP). This form of treatment focuses on helping the client gain access to conflicted emotions, regulate anxiety and challenge defense mechanisms that can stand in the way of development.
In therapy, I place great emphasis on creating a safe and trusting space where it feels natural to open up about the vulnerable and difficult. I am genuinely interested in understanding who you are and tailoring therapy to help you achieve your goals.
I live on the 5th floor in Øvre Slottsgate 7. Contact me at elise@psykologvirke.no if you have any questions.
