The North Suburban Center for Anxiety provides individual counseling for children (9+), adolescents, and adults. Treatment consists of the following:
- Initial, comprehensive assessment that evaluates a client's history, functioning, presenting concerns, and treatment goals
- Individualized treatment plan that is tailored to meet the client's needs
Skills-based approach that teaches clients to challenge their irrational thoughts, modify their fear-based behaviors, and ultimately decrease their overall anxiety
Frequent consultation with the client’s schools, doctors, and outside providers to provide consistency of care and to help maintain gains outside of session
Sessions in the office, in the home, at school, in a restaurant, at a mall, or wherever anxiety may be experienced and exposures may be helpful
