Stop Coping. Start Conquering.

NW Anxiety Institute and NW Anxiety Pediatrics are specialty outpatient clinics located in the heart of Portland, Oregon. We specialize in bringing evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety to life, creatively engaging with individuals of all ages to face and overcome their fears. NW Anxiety’s integrated, multidisciplinary approach allows for quality care for the individual and family system when appropriate. Services offered include outpatient therapy, therapeutic groups, parent training and support programs and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for children, teens and adults with OCD or anxiety.

IOP: An Accelerated Approach for Faster Results

Anxiety can interfere with school, work, and daily life. The Focus Program, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), offers a higher level of care when traditional therapy isn’t enough. Treatment is personalized, typically 3-4 hours per day, 4 days a week and averages 8-12 weeks, though the length of IOP is tailored to each individual based on clinical need.

What Does Exposure Therapy Look Like?

Rather than relying on avoidant behaviors or coping techniques, Exposure Therapy requires you to experience the anxiety head-on in a safe setting and with the help of a trained therapist. As exposure to your fear increases, your brain becomes habituated to the triggering item or situation and starts to dial back the fight-or-flight responses of anxiety.
