Who Can Benefit
AWCC provides services to children, teens, and adults. When working with children, parent collaboration is often an essential component of treatment. Parent sessions may be scheduled regularly or as needed to support progress and reinforce skills at home.
Clients who often benefit most from this work include:
- Individuals experiencing anxiety or panic
- Children and teens struggling with OCD
- High-achieving students facing performance pressure
- Adults navigating perfectionism, burnout, or overwhelming worry
- Individuals seeking structured, skills-based treatment
Treatment Process
Treatment begins with a comprehensive 60-minute intake session. A thorough assessment ensures a clear understanding of symptoms, strengths, and goals. While some assessments require more than one session, this foundation allows for a targeted, individualized treatment plan.
From there, therapy focuses on building practical, evidence-based skills designed to create measurable and lasting improvement.
Policies And Fees
AWCC is a fee-for-service specialty practice. Payment is due at the time of service. Fees are comparable to other highly specialized providers. Please contact the office directly for current rates and additional information.
