Anxiety Treatment Center of Austin

The Anxiety Treatment Center of Austin, set in the North Shoal Creek neighborhood, specializes in treating a wide range of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and specific phobias such as needle phobia and driving anxiety. They also treat health anxiety, selective mutism, paruresis, separation anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and body image disorders.
Clients can attend therapy in-person or virtually.
They offer individualized therapy for adults, teens, and children.
Their therapeutic approach integrates several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and prolonged exposure (PE).
The Anxiety Treatment Center of Austin tailors these therapies to each client's unique needs, fostering coping skills and promoting lasting positive change. For instance, CBT helps clients challenge irrational thoughts and behaviors, while ERP is particularly effective for OCD by gradually exposing individuals to feared situations to reduce anxiety responses.
In addition to individual therapy, the center offers specialized group therapy sessions that provide support and skill-building for various anxiety-related issues. These groups create a safe environment where clients can share experiences and learn coping strategies alongside others facing similar challenges. Clients can specify what groups work for them.
The Anxiety Treatment Center allows clients to make these choices:
They have more staff around between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, and they charge $25 less for these sessions than their evening or weekend sessions.
The Anxiety Treatment Center provides online care notes during and after care through their client portal, Therapy Portal. Clients can also request additional care through the portal.
