Your kid deserves
a life much bigger
than their anxiety.

Who we areWe’re a specialized group practice for teens and tweens with anxiety and OCD, built by therapists who know what it feels like to be that kid.
The truth about anxietySometimes the only way out is through.
Anxiety grows when kids avoid the things that scare them. Every reassurance, workaround, or time you make it easier—it feels like help. But it quietly teaches their brain that the fear was real and worth avoiding.
Once you understand what's actually happening, it's highly treatable. Kids' brains are still growing, which means right now is actually the best time to get help.
How we workWe use CBT, ERP, drama therapy, play therapy & expressive arts.
Most kids come to us having already tried therapy. And often, if you asked them what happened, they'd say, "Not much. Some Uno… a little talking." Their parents spent the whole time in the waiting room, left in the dark, and nothing from those sessions ever made it home.
That's not what this looks like.
Kids here do hard things and learn real skills—using CBT and ERP, approaches built specifically for anxiety and OCD. And we teach you what we teach your kid, so the work doesn't stop when the session ends.
Oh! and we run D&D Therapy Groups.
Unexpected? Yes. Effective? Also yes!

However bad it's gotten… we've seen it all, AND we've seen it get better.
Our teamWe’ve been there.
We've been that kid—the one whose worries seemed too overwhelming or too weird to say out loud. We've sat in therapists' offices that weren't a good fit, and figured out eventually (not soon enough) that the right help actually works.
That's why this practice exists. It’s a place we genuinely wished had been available to us when we were growing up.

What comes nextThere’s so much for your child on the other side.
The sleepover at a friend's house that actually sounds fun. Hopping out of the car at school drop-off without a second thought. A class trip out of town that's exciting instead of terrifying. All the space in their schedule that used to be taken up by worries—filled with better things.
Anxious thoughts will still come up from time to time, but your kid will know exactly how to handle them so they don't run the show.
Our hope is that, a year down the road, if your kid made a list of their biggest worries, it would be the stuff all kids worry about: friends, crushes, and whether or not they made the sports team, rather than anxiety or OCD.
