About Doctor Carbonell
Doctor Carbonell is a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders as a therapist, author, and teacher.

Effective treatment methods for anxiety disorders were just starting to enter the mainstream when Doctor Carbonell began his career as a psychologist in 1985. He’s been helping people overcome fears and phobias, and developing new treatment strategies ever since. He founded the Anxiety Treatment Center in Chicago in 1990, one of the first psychological practices in the United States devoted exclusively to the treatment of clients who sought help with anxiety disorders, and continues to offer treatment today to people who seek recovery from panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and phobias of all kinds.
