Dr. Ajeng Puspitasari is a licensed psychologist who specializes in psychotherapy for depression, anxiety, suicidal and self-injurious behaviors, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. She is board-certified in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and has extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioral Activation (BA), Exposure Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Dr. Puspitasari’s clinical team primarily treats adults with mood and anxiety disorders using a growing approach called process-based CBT (PBT). The therapist and each client collaborate to identify key issues that maintain these disorders, such as avoidance, unhelpful behaviors, difficulties managing emotions, problematic thinking, and challenges in relationships and communication.
These challenges, common in many mood and anxiety disorders, are addressed using evidence-based strategies from various CBT-oriented protocols, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. This approach also considers each individual’s environment, lived experiences, and intersecting identities that influence treatment and recovery. Therapy is guided by a multicultural, recovery-oriented, and trauma-informed approach.
