Helping children, teens, adults, and their families build practical skills and strategic supports.
Overcome anxiety, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral concerns in Doylestown, PA.
Anxiety, OCD, and related emotional-behavior disorders are some of the most common challenges faced by children, teens, and adults. Since the pandemic, it is estimated that the rates of anxiety spectrum disorders, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral conditions will continue to rise. Anxiety and OCD can affect everyone differently and can often be accompanied with strong emotions and difficult behaviors. For some, anxiety can develop secondary to underlying mood, neuro-developmental, and behavioral disorders. These conditions can affect many different areas of life such as attention and focus, self-esteem, performance at school or work, problem-solving, emotion regulation, activities of daily living, self-care, and relationships. Anxiety, OCD, and related conditions not only impact the individual, but also the people around them. For instance, the family system can sometimes naturally get entangled with anxiety, OCD, and related conditions that can impact the overall functioning and emotional well-being of the family.
When anxiety, heighten emotions, and disruptive behaviors start to impact important areas of life it can result in individuals and families living life in a way that focuses on immediate relief of emotional distress that unintentionally moves them further away from the life they want to live. Living life ruled by anxiety, strong emotions, and disruptive behaviors tends to grow and intensify emotional distress that often leads to a lower quality of life. Anxiety disorders, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral concerns can be highly impairing and debilitating if left untreated.
There is hope.
The great news is that anxiety, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral disorders are highly treatable. There are specific treatment approaches that have been scientifically proven to be highly effective in the treatment of anxiety, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral disorders. Many of these treatments fall under the category of cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure-based behavioral therapy. Active skill-building, experiential exercises, building emotional tolerance, developing flexibility, and strengthening relationships are fundamental scientifically proven interventions often used to overcome anxiety, OCD, and related disorders that leads to greater purpose, connection, independence, and emotional resiliency. Whether you are seeking treatment for the first time, or you have been in treatment before, know that there is hope and you and your family can live the life you truly want not ruled by anxiety, strong emotions, and disruptive behaviors.
Our Therapy Services
Children
We tailor treatment to best match the developmental needs and learning preferences of each child and family system. When working with children, parental involvement and collaboration is an essential component of effective treatment.
Teens
We work individually with teens to build skills to overcome anxiety, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral concerns. When working with teens, the degree of family involvement in treatment varies. This can range from brief check-ins to active parent participation in learning skills to support the teen’s treatment goals.
Adults
We work directly with adults to build skills to overcome anxiety, OCD, and related emotional-behavioral concerns. Treatment for adults can include a partner or family members depending on the circumstances. When family members are included in treatment it is in collaboration with the client.
Parents/Families
Anxiety, OCD, and related disorders can often affect the family system. We educate parents and families on the mental health struggles that their loved one is facing. We help parents and families learn different ways to interact with their loved ones that promotes healthy relationships and reduces their involvement in their loved one’s symptoms.
Professionals: We provide consultations to healthcare providers, educators, and school professionals.
