Anxiety disorders can involve excessive worry, fear, overthinking, physical symptoms of anxiety, avoidance, and difficulty feeling confident in everyday decisions. Anxiety can affect relationships, work, parenting, and a person's ability to fully engage in daily life.

At Elevate Psychology, treatment for anxiety focuses on understanding the patterns that keep anxiety going and developing practical ways to respond differently.

Treatment may address:

-Excessive worry and overthinking

-Panic and fear-based anxiety

-Avoidance and difficulty facing uncomfortable situations

-Perfectionism and self-criticism

-Reassurance seeking and difficulty tolerating uncertainty

-Decision-making and self-doubt

-Anxiety related to relationships, work, or major life transitions

-Anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum

Treatment may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and exposure-based strategies. Depending on the nature of the anxiety, treatment may focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns, reducing avoidance and reassurance seeking, building tolerance for uncertainty, and developing greater confidence in managing difficult emotions.

Elevate clinicians work collaboratively with each client to develop an individualized treatment approach. The goal is not simply to eliminate anxiety, but to help clients respond to anxiety differently so they can live more fully and confidently.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can involve intrusive thoughts, excessive doubt, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and difficulty tolerating uncertainty. OCD can take many forms and can interfere with relationships, work, parenting, and everyday life.

At Elevate Psychology, OCD treatment incorporates Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based treatment that helps clients gradually approach situations, thoughts, and uncertainties that anxiety has encouraged them to avoid while reducing compulsive responses.

Treatment may address:

Intrusive thoughts and unwanted mental images

-Reassurance seeking and repeated questioning

-Checking and mental reviewing

-Avoidance and safety behaviors

-Excessive doubt and difficulty making decisions

-Perfectionism and fear of making mistakes

-Fears related to harm, responsibility, morality, health, contamination, or relationships

-Difficulty tolerating uncertainty

Treatment is individualized to each client's specific symptoms and goals. Therapy focuses on helping clients change their relationship with unwanted thoughts and uncertainty rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable thought or achieve complete certainty.

OCD treatment at Elevate Psychology is provided by clinicians with experience treating OCD using evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Ayla Sitt, Psy.D. specializes in OCD and anxiety treatment, and other Elevate clinicians also work with clients experiencing OCD.
