Working from a supportive psychotherapy perspective, she also utilizes cognitive therapy and hypnosis techniques to interrupt the compulsive behavior.

Combined approaches are used to help patients gain mastery of this problem. Over the years, Dr. Silverton has successfully helped many patients by tailoring treatment to each individual.
