Our Programs
Designed for adolescents and young adults struggling with moderate to severe anxiety or OCD, our intensive outpatient program provides comprehensive IOP treatment near you for expedited and enduring recovery.
Clients in our IOP typically have not progressed with weekly therapy alone. Common symptoms include withdrawal from family, friends, school, and favorite activities, as well as excessive technology use (social media, gaming) as an unhealthy coping strategy. Our intensive outpatient treatment occurs Monday through Friday over a 6-12 week timeframe, depending on the 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) and exposure response prevention (ERP), 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.

By providing expert psychiatric consultation and evaluation, medication management, and individualized care, we seek to enhance treatment outcomes, and support ongoing wellness.
