Evidence-Based Therapy for Children, Adolescents & Adults
East Side CBT provides structured, CBT and DBT-based therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.
A significant focus of our practice is helping children and teenagers experiencing anxiety, OCD, mood concerns, and emotional regulation difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related approaches can be highly effective for young people when treatment is developmentally tailored and skills are introduced in a clear, practical way.
For younger clients, therapy often includes collaboration with parents, helping families understand how anxiety, avoidance, or emotional reactivity develop — and how to support progress outside of sessions.
We also treat adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, and stress-related concerns using the same structured, collaborative approach that guides all care at East Side CBT.
