how we do it

What to expect from therapy

1

Your first session

In your first therapy session, we’ll get to know you and create a personalized, goal-oriented plan to help you manage your anxiety or OCD. You will leave your first session with renewed hope and a plan for ongoing support!

2

Evidenced-based treatment

Come back for regular sessions, either in Houston or online, where we’ll use methods like CBT, ACT, or ERP to tackle your anxiety. These approaches have been proven to really work! Decades of research show that incorporating these methods into your life will help you confidently cope with anxiety and OCD.

3

Freedom!

Use the techniques and strategies you learn to take control of your anxiety or OCD and reclaim your life. Our goal is to get you out of therapy and into living your life with the ultimate freedom!
