In this episode of The UpTick, I chat with Dr. Robert Zambrano, a clinical psychologist and cognitive behavioral therapist specializing in Tourette Syndrome (TS), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and anxiety disorders. Dr. Zambrano shares his journey from an OCD-focused practice to becoming a key figure in the treatment of Tourette's, discussing the overlap between TS and OCD and the unique therapeutic approaches he uses.
Dr. Zambrano is a certified expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, particularly in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, and has been working with patients since 2000. He is also involved with the NJCTS Tim Howard Leadership Academy and specializes in treating persistent tic disorders and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). His practice, Stress and Anxiety Services of New Jersey, offers specialized telehealth services for anxiety disorders.
