Bio of Aditi Vijay, EdM, PhD

Dr. Vijay began her career in the South Bronx as a Teach For America Corps Member. As a middle school English teacher she had the chance to see adolescent development from a different perspective. This experience sparked her interest in the role of mental health in academic achievement and in scientific ways to support and promote mental health. Over time her interests have evolved to focus on intense emotions and the ways in which they impact people’s lives.

​She completed her undergraduate degree in History and Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. From there, Dr. Vijay went on to complete a Master of Arts in the Teaching of Social Studies at Columbia University and a Master’s in Education at Harvard University. Dr. Vijay received her Doctorate in Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her doctoral work was completed under the mentorship of Dr. Alan Fruzzetti. She completed a clinical internship at the VA Baltimore Health Care System/University of Maryland School of Medicine consortium where she was recognized as the Outstanding Intern in 2011.

Bio

Dr. Kerst completed his bachelor’s degree in psychology at Chapman University in Orange, California.  He then went on to commission in the United States Air Force after being selected to the competitive Ph.D. program at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences.  This is one of the most unique Ph.D. programs in the country as it is part of the only federal medical school in the country and is the only place where military physicians are trained in military medicine throughout their medical education.  As such, his education at USUHS had a decided military and medical focus as well as a strong emphasis in research skills in addition to traditional clinical training.  While at USUHS he studied neuropsychology in the Clinical Center at the National Institues of Health in Bethesda, Maryland for 2 years and at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland for a year.  He also expanded his psychotherapy skills with the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Employee Assistance Program where he conducted therapy and assessment with D.C. police officers, their spouses, and children.

​He completed his residency in clinical psychology in Ohio at Wright-Patterson Medical Center with an additional focus on neuropsychology. He then opted for an ...

I am passionate about effecting lasting change. My understanding, as a neuropsychologist, of both cognitive and affective neuroscience guides my treatment choices in terms of attaining these lasting outcomes. Furthermore, I strive to obtain results quickly, if at all possible (hence my perpetual interest in brief therapy models). While the value of traditional talk therapy is tremendous, I realized early on that it is not a panacea and that different approaches are needed for certain conditions such as trauma.

I have the greatest respect for my patients who have shown me over the years the resilience, creativity and ...

About CBT

The type of therapy I provide, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, focuses on teaching you skills that will help you effectively manage the problems you are having.  The time we spend together in session is focused on actively learning and practicing these skills.  This learning is reinforced outside of session, in your real life, through assignments that we decide on together.  As with any other skill, your early successes will encourage you to practice more.  The more you practice, the more natural it will feel and the more effective the CBT skills will be.  In fact, studies show that in many cases, not only do people who participate in CBT experience a decrease in symptoms after treatment, but symptoms can continue to decrease further up to a year after treatment.
