13. Freedom From Health Anxiety w/ Dr. Karen Cassiday

Are you struggling with health or illness anxiety or love someone who is? Do people call you a hyperchondriac? Did you listen to Episode 12 and relate like crazy? 

My conversation with Dr. Karen Cassiday is not only educational, it's empowering. She gets us! She's like a breath of fresh air. She was born to do this work. She approaches each patient with enthusiasm, persistence, and a keen sense of humor, crafting individualized, research-based treatment plans for each person. Her goal is to make each patient an expert at managing their own anxiety, so that they can face any future event with confidence and courage.

Dr. Cassiday received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1990 from the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. She is a nationally recognized expert in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders, the past president of the prestigious Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), and served on the board of Beyond OCD Chicago. She is a Founding Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (A-CBT). In addition, she serves on the faculty of the International Obsessive Compulsive Foundation Behavior Therapy Institute and at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. A sought after national speaker on television, radio and at professional training seminars, Dr. Cassiday has appeared as an expert consultant on Animal Hoarders on TNT and on NBC’s Today Show. Her expertise has been tapped through commentary in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and numerous other publications.

She is a sought after speaker who enjoys talking about parenting, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and mental wellness. Dr. Cassiday also founded and owns the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greater Chicago.
