Our Programs
From Struggle to Strength: Our day program confronts OCD, anxiety, and related disorders head-on for youth ages 13-25.
With a tailored approach, we blend daily CBT sessions, applied behavioral coaching, and group therapies. Dive into wellness activities that boost mental and physical health. Parental involvement is key – we nurture family ties through psychoeducation and parent coaching for lasting change.
Our concentrated intensive outpatient program occurs Monday through Friday, over a 6-12 week time frame, depending on severity of symptoms. Each day consists of four hours of targeted individual and group work.
Our compassionate clinicians provide individualized therapy sessions to address anxiety and OCD symptoms.
Utilizing proven methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we customize treatment plans supplemented by innovative technologies like bio-feedback, virtual reality, EMDR therapy, and Cognitive Processing therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy.
Anxiety Institute offers more than support; we provide parents with real-world tools to help their anxious children become independent and resilient.
We guide parents to minimize accommodation tactics, and instead utilize constructive methods that promote incremental changes and lasting recovery. Inspired by the Yale Child Study Center’s SPACE treatment model, our services are specifically tailored to meet your family’s needs.

“We came to Anxiety institute once a week for the parent support group. One of the most refreshing things was to hear so many other parents going through the same thing we went through. Our kids are all different, yet we all share this common bond of having a child that you want to help, and you didn’t know how. And coming to Anxiety Institute, for the first time we saw we can help our child and we can learn to help ourselves.”
