It can be really hard to tell and there can be a whole host of reasons why these issues may pop up! Don’t tackle them alone. Our experts are here to help you. Contact us today!

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (or OCD for short) impacts many kids and teens. Those with OCD typically experience obsessive thoughts and then engage in compulsions, or repetitive behaviors, to soothe the anxiety they feel around those obsessions. Oftentimes in the media, OCD is inaccurately portrayed as just being neat and clean, when the reality is it’s so much more complex and varied than that. Kids with OCD can often be helped by a specific form of therapy called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). This involves gradually exposing a child to the things that trigger their symptoms in order to very slowly help them control their reactions to those triggers. If you know a child or teen who has OCD and is looking for help, contact us today using the link in our bio!

We don't often consider the link between a chronic mental health condition like asthma or diabetes and mental health. Many kids with these conditions have higher rates of mental health problems because chronic health issues can be direct causes of trauma, stress, and depression.

When we talk about anxiety, it’s important to recognize that anxiety isn’t inherently a bad thing. We all experience some form of anxiety and controlled levels of anxiety actually help us in many ways. But when anxiety gets out of control and starts hindering rather than helping, that’s when it’s time to think about getting a little extra support.
