ABOUT

We are a small, specialized group of therapists dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment to children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety and OCD.
Living with anxiety is hard.
- From the outside it looks like you have it all together. But on the inside, the anxiety feels totally overwhelming.
- Your looping thoughts are completely exhausting and you can’t figure out how to stop them.
- The constant state of stress and anxiety is almost unbearable. You just can’t find the relief you’re looking for.
- You’re overthinking everything. You want to be present with the people in your life but you’re disconnected and distracted by your anxious thoughts.
- You feel like you have so much to be grateful for but your anxiety keeps you from truly feeling it.

Therapy for anxiety can address:
Mental Symptoms
Anxiety can be experienced as worry, fear, nervousness, excessive concern, or a feeling of dread or doom.
Behavioral symptoms
Anxiety can influence our behaviors and the way we act. Behavioral symptoms can include avoiding certain situations, withdrawing from social activities, excessive distractions, and too much time on social media.
Cognitive symptoms
Anxiety can impact your thinking processes. You may notice difficulty concentrating (or concentrating too much on unhelpful things), trouble making decisions, or feeling like your thoughts are racing.
Physical symptoms
Anxiety can cause uncomfortable physical sensations, like a racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, nausea, dizziness, and muscle tension.
These symptoms can be extremely difficult, but there is hope! Anxiety therapy can teach you skills to lessen these symptoms so you can focus on living your life.
