Every young person has a story of bravery and resilience; we are here to help them uncover their strengths. We specialize in working with kids, teens, and young adults facing anxiety, OCD, and behavioral challenges. Using evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we guide families in understanding symptoms, setting meaningful goals, and learning how the brain works to support lasting change. Our practice stands out for combining effective care with accessibility, working with many insurance providers to reduce barriers. We are passionate about helping young people build confidence and manage big emotions.
We're here to help! We are experts in diagnosing and treating anxiety, OCD, and behavioral problems in young people (ages 2-29) through online therapy and parent coaching. We help toddlers, kids, teens, and young adults to understand their worries and capture the bravery that helps them reclaim their lives at home, at school, and with their friends.
Let's get your healing journey started! Reach out to Brave Young Minds to get more information on insurance and availability. If we're a good fit, we will get you started with individual therapy, group therapy, and/or comprehensive psychological assessment as soon as possible. We are so excited to see you start the process of learning, healing, and growing.
