Anxiety & OCD
Anxiety and OCD care that looks for the why.
Racing thoughts, a tight chest, waking at 3 a.m., intrusive thoughts or compulsions that are hard to stop. Anxiety and OCD are common, but it isn't random. Alongside proven treatments, we look for the physical factors that can drive it or make it worse.

Your plan
How care works
We work to identify what's driving your anxiety. While we address those root causes, we help you manage symptoms so you can feel better sooner. Plans may combine nutrition and blood sugar support, targeted supplements, sleep and nervous system support, therapy, and medication when appropriate. As the underlying causes improve, we adjust your plan, and if you want to reduce or come off a medication, we do it gradually and safely.
Who you'll see
Common questions
Do you treat OCD?
Yes. We treat obsessive-compulsive disorder and related symptoms like intrusive thoughts and compulsions, combining evidence-based treatment with a look at the biological factors that can make symptoms worse. We also work alongside your therapist, including specialists in exposure and response prevention (ERP).
Will I have to take medication?
No. Medication is one option, and many plans start without it. If you already take one, we'll work with it.
Can you help me come off my anxiety medication?
Yes, in a safe and controlled way. If reducing or coming off a medication is right for you, we create a gradual, supervised tapering plan and address the root causes of your anxiety along the way. Please don't stop or change a medication on your own.
Can you manage controlled substances?
Yes, when clinically appropriate.
