Our Programs
Transformative Care for Teens & Young Adults suffering from OCD, anxiety, or anxiety-related disorders.
Our specialized day program combines CBT-focused individual sessions with hands-on applied behavioral therapy. Join peers in group sessions to gain insights and experience wellness through yoga, music, and art. We believe in family healing, offering parents the tools and knowledge to support their child’s journey.
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.
Welcome to a therapeutic experience uniquely designed for clients suffering with OCD, anxiety and anxiety-related disorders.
Individualized therapy sessions focus on anxiety and OCD management utilizing a blend of tried-and-true techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with cutting-edge advancements in virtual reality and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Anxiety Institute offers a transformative coaching service that equips parents to turn their child’s anxiety into resilience and self-efficacy.
Instead of just accommodating anxiety, you’ll be trained to apply actionable strategies that break cycles of avoidance, leading to better family dynamics. Our methods are rooted in Yale Child Study Center’s SPACE model, adapted to address your family’s particular challenges.

“We spent a lot of time with our child’s therapist, but we also met a lot of the other therapists here. And, every one of them, while different styles, had the same warmth and the same caring attitude about really understanding how to help our daughter do better. And it was such a nice feeling to see people who really cared, as opposed to just doing a job.”
