Dr. Bardeen is a licensed clinical psychologist in Alabama, Iowa, and Florida that specializes in evidence-based treatments - which are those that are supported by research - for individuals with anxiety and related disorders. Because it is difficult to find well-trained mental health professionals who specialize in providing the most up-to-date treatments to those suffering from anxiety and related disorders, it is his goal to provide clients with evidence-based treatments in a manner that increases access to those in Iowa, Alabama, and Florida who might not otherwise have it via online therapy, or videoconferencing. Additionally, in-person treatment is offered in our West Des Moines, Iowa location.
Dr. Bardeen specializes in working with clients who are dealing with trauma- and anxiety-related concerns, including PTSD, OCD, panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and worry, BFRBs, and phobias. Dr. Bardeen approaches client problems from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, with special expertise in the use of exposure therapy for OCD, PTSD, and anxiety-related concerns, while also leaving room for the flexibility to integrate treatment techniques from other modalities when necessary.
