Anxiety can quietly take over everything.

It affects how you parent. How you show up at work. How you move through the day… but it doesn’t have to stay this way. With the right support, you can stop walking on eggshells—and start feeling like yourself again.

ANXIETY & OCD SPECIALISTS

Specialized care—not just good intentions.

We’re not a generalist practice—and we don’t wing it with anxiety or OCD. Our therapists are highly trained in ERP, SPACE, ACT, and other evidence-based approaches proven to help.

We bring that training into real-world care: whether your child won’t engage, your intrusive thoughts feel too scary to say out loud, or past therapy just didn’t help—this is different. We know how to meet you there.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

What we treat.

Our team focuses exclusively on anxiety and OCD, providing specialized care for kids, teens, and adults. We’ve built our practice around evidence-based treatments that work, delivered with creativity and collaboration.

  • We treat anxiety that shows up as constant worry, panic attacks, physical tension, and avoidance that limits daily life, including generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, separation anxiety, social anxiety, and phobias—like fears of vomiting, injury, needles, or blood.

  • We treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that shows up as distressing obsessions, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts. This includes contamination fears, harm OCD, “just-right” rituals, taboo or unwanted thoughts, and compulsive behaviors that disrupt daily life.

  • We provide evidence-based support to help parents manage anxiety-driven patterns at home and create sustainable routines that reduce distress—building confidence even if your child resists therapy or struggles to participate.

  • We offer specialized support for fertility-related anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and identity shifts before, during, and after pregnancy—including scary thoughts and high-anxiety transitions in the postpartum period.

    We are not in-network with insurance panels. We can provide a 'Superbill' for you to submit to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. A Superbill is a specific billing statement with the information on it that insurance often requires to process a claim. Payment is required at the time of the appointment, and your insurance company may reimburse you directly.
    Some helpful questions to ask your insurance company are:

    1. What are my out-of-network benefits for mental health outpatient treatment?

    2. Do I have a separate deductible that needs to be met before these benefits kick in?

  • Yes—we offer secure telehealth therapy across Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Arizona.

  • We highly encourage all parents of minors to engage in 4–6 parent sessions with one of our therapists. Anxiety and OCD problems impact the entire family and the role that a parent plays in helping their child is critical to effective outcomes. Often times, the ways that feel natural to respond to anxiety (reassurance, helping, etc.) can increase anxiety over time. Parents need to learn strategies to use that will help reduce anxiety over time, not just provide the quick fixes that grow anxiety.

    • Under 5 years old | Parent coaching using Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)

    • 6–17 years old | Individual and family sessions; parent involvement varies

    • 18 years and older | Individual therapy with optional family involvement

  • These times are popular and may not be immediately available. Starting with a less-ideal time can help prioritize you for later openings. Schools may allow virtual sessions during study hall or other preferred times.

    • Initial appointment is parent-only (if the child is a minor)

    • Subsequent involvement depends on the child’s willingness and treatment needs

    • We strive to have parents involved when it is appropriate, as anxiety problems tend to involve the entire family

    • Parent coaching sessions are offered as needed

  • CBT is a psychotherapy model that helps individuals understand the connection between thoughts, behaviors, body sensations, and emotions, enabling them to manage emotions more effectively.

  • ERP is an intervention used within CBT, particularly for OCD, where individuals are gradually exposed to triggers and learn to refrain from safety-seeking behaviors, reducing anxiety over time.

  • SPACE is an evidence-based protocol that works exclusively with parents to help reduce child anxiety and OCD symptoms. Research has shown that when parents make intentional and targeted changes in response to a child’s anxiety symptoms, their symptom severity reduces. This is a great protocol for all parents to learn, and especially important for parents who have kids that are not willing to engage in treatment.
