At The Anxiety & OCD Center, we streamline your path to recovery by providing comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and specialized Anxiety and OCD treatment within a single practice. Skipping the delay of bouncing between separate testing centers and therapy offices allows our team to build a targeted, personalized treatment plan.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a proven therapy for OCD. Instead of avoiding fears or doing rituals to feel safe, ERP helps kids, teens, and adults face scary thoughts step-by-step without giving in to compulsions. Over time, this retrains the brain and breaks the OCD cycle.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Severe Anxiety
CBT helps people manage severe anxiety, panic attacks, social fears, and phobias. Patients learn practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts, calm physical stress, and feel confident again in everyday life.
Comprehensive Psychological Testing & Evaluation
Getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward getting better. Our expert doctors conduct clear assessments for kids, teens, and adults to pinpoint anxiety, OCD, or other conditions—so we can create a treatment plan that fits your exact needs.
Conditions We Treat for Paoli & Main Line Patients
Psychological testing for children, adolescents, and adults
Our doctoral-level specialists provide personalized, evidence-based care tailored to every stage of life. For children and adolescents, we focus on relieving intrusive fears, severe worry, and OCD rituals so young people can regain confidence at home and in school.
For adults, we deliver structured strategies to break free from persistent anxiety, panic, phobias, and compulsions. Because recovery rarely happens in isolation, we also work closely with parents and families, equipping them with practical tools to actively support their loved one’s progress and stop accommodating cycles of fear.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Including intrusive thoughts, contamination fears, harm OCD, and checking/counting rituals.
