When needed or desired, Dr. Selles provides support to loved ones (e.g., parents, partners) around the areas of challenge or concern. This frequently includes learning skills to reduce involvement in symptoms, manage unhelpful reactions to the issues (e.g., worry, frustration, guilt, criticism),  communicate concerns effectively, improve interactions and relationships, and develop more helpful structures and supports.

While Dr. Selles generally does not emphasize diagnosis in his practice (learn why), he commonly works with people who experience symptoms consistent with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, selective mutism, specific phobias, panic disorder, hoarding disorder, tic disorders, Tourette's Syndrome, trichotillomania, and excoriation disorder.

Dr. Selles also supports people with challenges related to big emotions (e.g., anger, distress, losing control), low mood (e.g., feeling down, inactive, negative, insecure) and attention (e.g., trouble focusing, disorganization, procrastination) as these difficulties commonly co-occur with his areas of expertise. However, if any of these areas represent the primary concern for you, you may be better served by another therapist.

Dr. Selles does not have the knowledge or expertise to support individuals who are experiencing concerns related to extreme reactivity, dangerous behaviors, manipulation and persistent lying, intellectual disorders, excessive rigidity, eating disorders, severe depression, self-harm, complex family problems, complex trauma, substance problems, mania, or psychosis. Dr. Selles does not provide psychoeducational assessment services at HeadQuarters.
