Child & Adolescent Treatment
Are you worried about your child’s anxiety?
Difficult feelings are normal for everyone, including the youngest people! Sometimes, though, it may seem like your child is having more than their fair share of:
- Fear
- Worry
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Trouble sleeping
- Headaches
- Stomachaches
- Lack of appetite
- Muscle tension
- Social withdrawal
- Repetitive behavior that is hard to understand or control
- Avoidance of familiar people and places or regular routines
If you are worried that your child has been showing more of these signs than they typically do, it can be helpful to talk to a professional. They may be symptoms of an emotional difficulty that could be serious, but treated effectively with therapy.
Our Practice is Here to Help
We are a team of dedicated, thoughtful therapists who love our work with children and adolescents. We offer a variety of evidence-based treatments, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy
- Habit reversal training (HRT) for Tic Disorders and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling or skin picking
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
We understand that emotional struggles can be a difficult experience for both children and their caregivers, and that helping the child typically means working with the systems they are part of, as well. We are committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that will help your child overcome their struggles and live a full and rewarding life.

From time to time, we offer support groups for children who have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), along with separate support groups for their caregivers. These groups are designed to help caregivers of individuals with OCD understand the complexities of this disorder, and how to best support their loved ones to foster and maintain treatment gains over time. Please reach out to us to let us know if you are interested in joining a group.
