Elizabeth DuPont Spencer and ADAA
I am proud to be the daughter of one of the ADAA founders, Robert DuPont, MD. I joined ADAA as soon as I began my professional career. I knew I could turn to the many ADAA members who are experts to learn cutting-edge treatments to help my clients in my private practice. I have been a part of many ADAA committees over the years and always enjoy the connection with other professionals and the sense of shared mission to improve the lives of people with anxiety and depression. For the last 5 years, I have been glad to be at a point in my career where I can give back to therapists who are just learning about CBT with ERP through my online training business, Anxiety Therapy, which I co-owner with Kimberly Morrow. Together, we have trained thousands of clinicians across the country in evidence-based treatments, and we always let them know that ADAA is the place to turn for community, conferences, and resources. Elizabeth Du Pont Spencer is an ADAA Clinical Fellow.
