About Dr. Self…

Carolyn Self, P. harate in coueling/ minor clinical psychology.

 She has been specializing in anxiety disorders since 1983.  She uses her  highly successful cognitive-behavioral-nervous system calming treament.

She is a professional member of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America.

Dr. Self was awarded a $10,000 grant for her study treating anxiety, phobias and depression.  One group was given medication ( alprazolam also known as Xanax) and the other group was allowed no medication.   The comprehensive treatment was so successful that the edge normally predicted for medication was virtually erased…and this was three months after treatment.

 Dr. Self has directed two inpatient hospital programs to treat anxiety.

She has been a frequent guest on “Cope” a former television program dedicated to mental health issues.

Before going into private practice Dr. Self was a senior staff member of the chief psychological delivery service for the University of North Texas, Denton, the Counseling and Testing Center.

 As an additional interest, she co-founded and co-directed the Center for Career Choice and was editor of its first newsletter.   She also taught in the department of counseling and worked on various grants and university projects.

After opening a practice she acted as a consultant in the private and municipal sector.

Dr. Self at this time is fully engaged in her practice.  She works with children (and their parents), adolescents and adults on all the anxiety  disorders as well as stress issues ( stress often comes prior to a full blown anxiety disorder).   She also works with tricotillomania, other impulse control problems, ADD/ADHD, and uses hypnosis for some issues.
