Chronic mental health conditions, such as anxiety, can significantly impact individuals and their families. Our goal is to help you regain control and live a life free from anxiety. To achieve this, we offer effective outpatient anxiety treatment in Seattle, designed to help you reclaim your life and feel empowered once more.

We provide personalized care tailored to those struggling with anxiety, working to develop strategies that minimize its impact. Our clinics are committed to fostering a warm and supportive environment, ensuring you feel secure and supported throughout your recovery.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a challenging anxiety disorder characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, which can severely restrict daily life. It is one of the most commonly diagnosed anxiety disorders. Our clients with OCD learn to manage their symptoms effectively and work towards leading fulfilling, healthy lives.

Childhood anxiety disorders are prevalent and can pose significant short-term and long-term risks to both physical and mental health if not properly addressed. While effective treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medications are available, they have been found to be insufficient in up to half of clinical cases, highlighting the need for additional treatment options.

SPACE is designed to treat youth and young adults with anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although children are the patients receiving treatment, they are not required to attend SPACE sessions directly. When SPACE treatment is successful, children often experience reduced anxiety and improved functioning, particularly for common anxiety issues faced during youth.

Raising a child with complex needs can be overwhelming, and it's normal to feel guilt or shame about wishing things were different, despite wanting to fully support your child. While you may have sought help for your child, your own self-care might have been neglected. Believing in your adequacy as a parent can boost your confidence and hope. Seeking support for yourself is crucial, and counseling with us can help parents of special needs children regain balance, hope, and joy in their lives.
