WHAT WE TREAT
Anxiety, OCD, & Feeling Stuck
Our 20s and 30s are often filled with twists and turns that can be both exciting and overwhelming. There is real freedom and possibility during this stage, and also periods of instability and insecurity.
Between navigating career decisions, relationships, moving in on your own, marriage or parenthood, and figuring out what kind of life you want to build, the stakes feel high and the roadmap is mostly missing.
For a lot of people, this is when anxiety shows up in a serious way for the first time, or when something that was manageable before starts feeling overwhelming.
A lot of the young adults we work with are thoughtful, driven, and hard on themselves. They’re used to performing well, but still struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or a nagging sense that something feels off despite doing all the things they thought they were supposed to do.
Things we hear a lot
I overthink everything and I can't turn it off.
I'm doing fine on paper, but I feel exhausted and behind.
I feel stuck and not sure what I want next.

HOW WE WORK
Evidence-based Treatment with room for the bigger picture
Our approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which have the strongest research support for anxiety and OCD. Sessions are practical and collaborative. We work on concrete strategies to use in your daily life, address the specific situations and patterns driving your anxiety, and pay attention to what’s changing over time.
We also recognize that the reasons people come to therapy in their 20s and 30s are rarely just about symptoms. Questions about identity, relationships, values, and what kind of life someone actually wants to live come up too. That’s all part of the work.
