Christopher Nunez PhD

In my private practice I offer individual therapy to people across the lifespan (children, adolescents, adults, and older adults) with CBT, including exposure with response prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rumination-focused ERP, Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), and the Unified Protocol. I also offer Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) to parents of children with OCD and anxiety. Approximately 60-75% of clients are diagnosed with OCD and related disorders.

Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety), depression, developmental disorders, insomnia, co-occurring medical conditions.

I completed intensive training in ERP at the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety and have worked in an OCD and anxiety focused intensive outpatient program (IOP) since 2019. I received additional training and supervision from previous UCLA faculty.

I regularly work with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

My training heavily emphasized theory and clinical practice working with multicultural populations. I co-founded the Cultural Neuropsychology Initiative at UCLA in 2010 and have published research related to diverse populations.
