Paul Nestadt specializes in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety disorders, particularly in behavioral interventions such as exposure-based therapies. He serves as the primary supervising psychiatrist for the Johns Hopkins Hospital Anxiety Disorders Clinic, and also attends on the inpatient Motivated Behaviors Unit at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he treats patients suffering from comorbid psychiatric and behavioral crises.
