About
Anxiety & OCD Treatment Services
Our team is comprised of experienced clinicians who are passionate about providing quality care for individuals and families who suffer from OCD and anxiety-related concerns. We provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with special expertise in exposure-based therapies, such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), while also incorporating techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. At Anxiety & OCD Treatment Services, we provide our clients with the skills to face their fears so that they can make effective choices that are in line with their overall values and goals.
We work with children, adolescents, and adults, offering both individual and parent-based treatment. We also specialize in perinatal OCD and anxiety, working with parents who have anxiety-related concerns during the prenatal or postpartum period. Our providers have specific training in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), a parent-based treatment program for treating child and adolescent anxiety disorders.
In addition to therapy services, we offer comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for children (ages 6 and up), adolescents, and adults. Our licensed psychologists use a range of assessment tools to clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and challenges, and provide personalized recommendations for treatment, academic or workplace accommodations, and other support services. Whether seeking diagnostic clarity for ADHD, learning differences, anxiety-related concerns, or other mental health conditions, our evaluations help guide next steps.

In-Person & Virtual Therapy
We offer in-person therapy and assessment services at our West Des Moines, Iowa office, as well as secure telehealth services for clients who prefer or require virtual care. Virtual therapy allows us to provide treatment to those who have little-to-no access to specialized anxiety and OCD treatment. It has a number of benefits: it offers flexibility, convenience, and accessibility. Research demonstrates that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure-based treatments delivered via telehealth are just as effective as in-person treatment.
