Dr. Tom Bivona, Psy.D.

Dr. Tom Bivona, Psy.D., works with adolescents and adults in eating disorder treatment, drawing on exposure therapy, Family-Based Therapy, and Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Because eating disorders so often travel with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and depression, he treats those alongside the eating disorder rather than separately.

He is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and in Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma and PTSD. He continues his training through the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies annual conference.

Dr. Bivona is direct and action-oriented, and works to get patients relief as quickly as possible. He practices under the supervision of Dr. Melissa Gibson, Psy.D., HSP. Outside of clinical work, he teaches clinical psychology graduate students at Pepperdine University, Bellarmine University, and Spalding University.
