“Soon after starting therapy at the Center for Anxiety, my depression lifted.”

“Soon after starting therapy at the Center for Anxiety, my depression lifted. My suicidal thoughts began to dissipate. I remember the feeling that came over me as soon as the dark cloud above me left. It was the most liberating feeling I have ever experienced.”

“I’m 26 years old and I’ve been suffering from terrible depression for 7 years. In the throws of my sadness I literally wanted to die. Soon after starting therapy at the Center for Anxiety, my depression lifted. My suicidal thoughts began to dissipate. I remember the feeling that came over me as soon as the dark cloud above me left. It was the most liberating feeling I have ever experienced. I actually shouted to my friends, family and anyone nearby me “I’m Happy! I am Happy!” I felt free.”

Who We Serve

Children (6-12)

Parenting a child with anxiety can be overwhelming. Our team offers proven treatments in a safe, supportive environment to help your child feel understood and empowered. We work closely with parents to address your child’s fears and build resilience.

Teenagers (13-17)

Young Adults (18+)

Two in 10 adults experience anxiety at some point. For young adults, transitioning into independence brings new responsibilities. Our programs are designed to give you the support you need to overcome anxiety and thrive.

Are you the parent of a young adult struggling with anxiety? ▾

Starting therapy can feel intimidating for many young adults, especially when they worry it might mean something is “wrong” with them. We encourage them to start and continue their journey by framing therapy as a tool for personal growth.

Adults

Navigating anxiety in adulthood can be isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you’re managing work-related stress, family responsibilities, or personal fears, our evidence-based treatments are tailored to meet your needs.

Parents and Families

Parenting a child or teen with anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our parenting sessions provide education, tools, and guidance to help parents respond to their child’s needs. From improving communication to implementing reward systems, we help families create an environment that fosters growth.

Our Services

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a transformative experience for adolescents and adults who need focused, dynamic support in a welcoming, flexible environment. Our IOP combines the best of both worlds by offering structured, high-level care while allowing individuals to continue with their daily lives.

 Whether you’re tackling anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, our IOP is designed to help you make powerful, lasting changes with personalized, results-driven care. Available both in-person and virtually.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a proven, empowering approach that helps individuals unlock their potential by transforming negative thought patterns. Whether you or your child is struggling with anxiety, stress, or chronic worry, CBT gives you the skills to break free from unhelpful thinking, regain confidence, and manage life’s challenges with a positive mindset. Our compassionate therapists work with you every step of the way. We offer both in-person and online options.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Our DBT program offers a wonderful opportunity for adolescents and adults to build emotional resilience, foster healthy relationships, and develop a deeper sense of self-acceptance. If you or your child is struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges, DBT equips you with practical tools like mindfulness and emotion regulation to manage stress and create lasting positive change. Available both in-person and virtually.

Premium Intensive Care (Echelon)

For those seeking a deeper, more focused treatment experience, we offer premium intensive care. Whether you’re dealing with complex issues like trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress, this treatment offers the dedicated attention and support you need to heal and grow. Our experts are dedicated to helping you feel stronger, more confident, and ready to take on life’s challenges.

DBT Skills Group Therapy

Our virtual DBT skills groups offer a vibrant, supportive community where individuals can share their experiences, learn from one another, and grow together. Led by experienced clinicians, these sessions create a safe, uplifting space where you can build connections and practice new skills. Group therapy is a fantastic way to complement individual treatment, offering emotional support as you move forward. Available for both adolescents (ages 11-17) and adults.


How It Works

We Begin With Understanding

Before the first consult, we send a survey to get to know your child, including history, preferences, and goals.

Intake Session

Care begins with either a 50-minute session for adults or an 80-minute session for kids that allows us to assess your unique needs and create a treatment plan.

Match With Your Clinician

With the insights from your intake, we carefully match you with the right therapist or group.

Center for Anxiety’s Mission Statement

We are a diverse team of caring clinicians working and growing together to provide effective outpatient and intensive treatment to make a difference in the communities we serve.


What Clients Say

I Tackled a Long List of Fears

“When I first came to the Center for Anxiety, my list of anxieties/fears was long! I was scared of getting sick, getting stranded, driving, flying and more. With the help of my therapist, I immediately got to work and tackled every one of my fears. Now the world is open to me and I feel free! I can dream big and accomplish whatever I set my mind to! I am especially grateful that I was able to do all this without having to rely on medication. It was hard work – grueling at times! – but now I have the coping tools within me for life. In fact a family member recently said to me “You are awesome. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to because you don’t let fear stop you! ” Thank you Dr. Rosmarin and the Center for Anxiety staff for helping me get here. My fears no longer limit me and I love my life. Try it, it might turn your life around too!”

No More Panic

“When I first came in, I was struggling with panic disorder and didn’t even know it, which only made dealing with it that much more difficult. After my first time sitting down with my therapist, however, I instantly started to gain perspective and look at the difficult situation in a different light. Our meetings helped me conquer the issue step by step and get my life back on track. I’d strongly recommend that anyone dealing with anxiety in a way that impacts their day to day life should visit the Center for Anxiety! I know it helped me tremendously.”

From EXISTING to LIVING

“Over the course of four years I developed anxiety-like symptoms (tightness in chest, gut, back) that slowly but surely increased in duration and severity. The EXTREMELY uncomfortable nature of the symptoms notwithstanding, I still continued and managed to function. The effort required to do so, however, left me utterly drained. Having always been a very spiritual person I strongly felt that a course of therapy incorporating a spiritual component could potentially work well for me and decided to give the Center for Anxiety a try. Happily, I have achieved significant symptom reduction, tremendously improved emotional/mental health, and above all, Connection. Medication free. I’m no longer just existing, I’m LIVING. I’ve been given a second chance to become the unique human being that I was meant to be.”

Calmer in the Face of Hardship

“I came to the Center for Anxiety for help in dealing with a family member who suffered from extreme anxiety. But I ended up getting a serious illness two months later and started having my own sessions. With the help of my therapist I got through my illness, learned to understand my habits that were making my major life stresses worse, learned to communicate better, taper my anger, and surprisingly I became more calmer even though my hardships in life worsened. Therapy is a lot of work and not easy, but nothing in life comes easy! I became a better and softer mom and (when I practice what I learned) and my kids and home are calmer and happier. I am still a work in progress and have more to work on, but I know I am on the right path. I wish I knew before how my communication style and anger were really impacting my life, how being softer you can accomplish way more then being harsh. I have been to other therapists in the past and I can hands down say that the Center for Anxiety’s approach is really effective. I have even referred a bunch of people to the Center and they have been really happy with the therapists and how much they really care for their patients.”

Highly Skilled and Professional Treatment

“When I sought treatment at the Center for Anxiety, the clinic was is in its incipient stages. However, by the time I successfully finished treatment, the Center for Anxiety grew and flourished into a world-class treatment center, offering cutting-edge, evidence-based treatment to countless individuals. The continued success of the Center for Anxiety comes as no surprise to me, with a team that contains such highly skilled professionals who display clinical acumen, empathy, and compassion. When I first entered treatment I was concerned that therapy would be similar to the experiences with past psychologists: a seemingly bottomless pit with no reductions in my anxiety symptoms, but was so relieved when I started to feel less anxious after only a handful of sessions. My therapist created a treatment plan that was tailored exactly to my needs and taught me practical skills to help me work through my anxiety that I still use and practice to this very day.”

Free of Obsesssions

“When I woke up one morning last June and didn’t want to get out of bed, I knew I needed help. The thought of getting through another day with all my anxieties, obsessions and rituals was just too overwhelming. After feeling stuck for years, I just couldn’t anymore. Thankfully, that’s when I found the Center for Anxiety. Dr. Rosmarin and his staff are experts at what they do, kind and professional. After just several weeks I accomplished my initial targets. The change I experienced in such a short amount of time was astounding that I stayed on for a while longer to work on more complex goals. I soon achieved those too. Now, I am free of my obsessions, know how to manage my anxiety, and love my life. My only regret: not having done this sooner. I wish I had known that you don’t have to wait to hit rock bottom to get help.”

An Answer to My Prayers

“Treatment at Center for Anxiety has been an answer to my prayers, and I feel so lucky to be working with my therapist. I have been in therapy for almost 17 years, but I was looking for more evidence-based treatment with a clinician that I can trust. My Center for Anxiety clinician knows how to appropriately challenge me while also balancing a push for change and offering a lot of validation and acceptance. My confidence in her and in the process has made a huge difference in my overall feeling of hopefulness.”

Depression Lifted

“I’m 26 years old and I’ve been suffering from terrible depression for 7 years. In the throws of my sadness I literally wanted to die. Soon after starting therapy at the Center for Anxiety, my depression lifted. My suicidal thoughts began to dissipate. I remember the feeling that came over me as soon as the dark cloud above me left. It was the most liberating feeling I have ever experienced. I actually shouted to my friends, family and anyone nearby me “I’m Happy! I am Happy!” I felt free.”

My Priority Was Their Priority

“I have worked in healthcare for 36 years in many different settings, and I have been overwhelmingly satisfied with the Center for Anxiety. When staff says they are going to call, I get a call. From the first contact, I have been very impressed with the professionalism and efficiency. I had a situation and needed to have sessions more than once per week, and my clinicians worked out a schedule to accommodate my needs. I was astounded that they attended to me so quickly and effectively – they made my priority their priority. My clinicians were also excellent at what they do – they have a plan for me each session, and it’s clear that they have thought in advance about each session, and that they are listening to what I say and observing what I do, even though our sessions have been conducted via Telehealth. Compassion is a quality that I have all too often found to be lacking in my experiences as a healthcare professional and patient, and this is not the case with the Center for Anxiety. Of all the websites I found on Google, I am so thankful that God guided my hand to yours.”
