Quiet your anxious mind

Help for tweens, teens and adults with anxiety or OCD

Virtual & in-person sessions available

Our experienced psychologists are ready to gently help you find the relief you need.

Have you read countless self-help books, talked to friends who told you to "just let it go," or tried therapy that didn’t quite work? You’re not alone. Smart, creative people tend to worry more because they can imagine all the things that could go wrong.

The truth is, deep breathing and relaxation exercises aren’t enough for most anxiety disorders or OCD.

Don’t worry. You are in the right place to get the help you deserve.

Are any of these feelings familiar?

  • Anxiety can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Well-meaning advice like "don't worry" doesn’t help. The good news? There are proven treatments that do. Let us show you how to take back control.

  • OCD is more than just cleaning or checking. It’s those intrusive thoughts you can’t shake and the habits you use to cope. We treat all forms of OCD, even the ones you’ve been too embarrassed to share.

  • Social anxiety isn't solved by forcing yourself to socialize. We teach you how to handle embarrassment, rejection, and criticism so you can feel confident and find your kindred spirits.

  • Toxic workplaces can take a toll on your mental and physical health. Our therapists can help you create a plan to protect yourself and rebuild your confidence.

  • Some of the biggest stress in our lives comes from having to deal with difficult people. We’ll teach you verbal self-defense strategies to help you protect yourself from passive-aggressive or hostile behaviors.

  • Working harder isn’t always the answer. Burnout sneaks in when you neglect self-care. Let us help you restore balance and happiness in your life.

  • Cyberbullying and online shaming are particularly traumatic with consequences that few would imagine unless they have been there themselves. We’ll help you stay focused, manage fear, and use proven strategies to restore your reputation.

  • Few people openly discuss the experience of being shunned by their families, but you aren’t alone. We’ll help you move forward in your life with the peace of mind you deserve.
