Alma Campiani, Psy.D.

Dr. Campiani (she/her/hers) is a postdoctoral fellow at Pacific Anxiety Group working under the supervision of Dr. Amanda Hilberg and Dr. Ryan Kozina. Her clinical background encompasses treating adults with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, mood, and trauma-related disorders, as well as those facing challenges with identity. As an integrative clinician, Dr. Campiani combines evidence‑based interventions from multiple orientations including cognitive‑behavioral (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), mentalization-based therapy (MBT), and relational psychodynamic therapy. As a bilingual clinician, she has extensive experience delivering psychotherapy and assessment in both English and Spanish.

Dr. Campiani earned her Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), where she trained in specialty clinics including the Anxiety Disorders Clinic and Youth Anxiety and Depression Clinic. She sought additional training in ERP for OCD as an exposure therapist at the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP for OCD) at University of Pennsylvania’s Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety Disorders (CTSA). Dr. Campiani has also had comprehensive training in trauma-focused therapy, such as working with refugees and asylees at the International Rescue Committee and completing her APA-accredited internship at Jackson Health System/University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where she provided outpatient psychotherapy, inpatient consultation, and psychological testing to adults from diverse sociocultural backgrounds with PTSD, complex trauma, personality disorders, and severe mental illness.

Dr. Campiani draws on evidence-based interventions to reduce symptom-based suffering and conquer individual treatment goals. She also attunes to the interpersonal and cultural dimensions of suffering. Dr. Campiani prioritizes a collaborative approach that both promotes agency in clients such that they can face their fears with compassion, better understand how their mind functions, and experience a more authentic version of themselves in the here-and-now.
