Taking the first step of starting therapy can feel scary and unfamiliar, especially if you’ve been struggling with panic and anxiety.

But the right anxiety and OCD support can help you feel comfortable enough to open up and make a real difference in your life. Just like it did for one of our patients…

“My sessions really helped immensely. If you’re struggling, this is a great place to go for some help.”

If you’re ready to start, we’re here to support you. 💚

This year, the theme of International Self-Care Day is all about resilience and the …

It’s a reminder to make a personal commitment to care for your health and well-being.

Self-care can look like many different things:

Resting.
Saying no.
Asking for help.
Going to therapy.
Setting boundaries.
Giving yourself permission to take a break.

And for a lot of us, these things can feel challenging. But sometimes, self-care looks less like a spa day and more like doing the simple, yet challenging things that support your mental health in the long run.

What is one self-care promise you can make to yourself today?

Our postdoctoral fellows have completed their doctoral education and extensive clinical training. They provide evidence-based therapy under the supervision of our licensed psychologists while completing the final supervised step toward independent licensure.

Take advantage of the extra time to ask questions, discuss your goals, explore whether we're the right fit, and learn about next steps.

We often think that supporting our children means working to change their own behavior, but what if it starts with us, the parents?

That’s where SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) can support you.

What makes SPACE different is that it’s a *parent-based* treatment program, developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center, for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, phobias, and related problems.

The 2 main changes you learn as a parent are:

1️⃣ How to respond more supportively to your anxious child
2️⃣ How to reduce the accommodations you might be making to ease your child’s symptoms

If you’re looking for support for your child’s anxiety or OCD, SPACE may be a helpful place to start.

What is Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD?

1️⃣ Exposure = Little by little, engaging in activities that you fear (such as touching dirty surfaces)

2️⃣ Response Prevention = Without engaging in compulsive responses (like hand washing)

ERP is also combined with Acceptance-Based Behavior Therapy, which involves learning to manage and accept your unwanted thoughts and feelings.

And at the Anxiety Treatment Center of Austin, ERP is done slowly, with support, and only when you feel ready.

At first, this can feel really uncomfortable. But over time, the brain starts to regain a sense of safety and acceptance, despite not engaging in the compulsive responses.

This is where change happens.
This is where you start to feel in control of your life again. 💚

"When I tell people I dread summer, they seem confused."

For some people, summer does not feel carefree at all…

👉 Disrupted routines
👉 Travel stress
👉 Social pressure
👉 Childcare changes
👉 Heat exhaustion

All of these changes can impact anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, and OCD symptoms.

It can also feel isolating when it seems like everyone else feels relaxed and carefree while you are quietly trying to regulate yourself during a time of constant schedule changes and unpredictability.

Remember this: You are not failing for needing rest, boundaries, or a slower pace during an incredibly full season.

Sometimes supporting your mental health looks less like “making the most of summer” and instead, creating pockets of stability where you can.

MYTH: “If I have intrusive thoughts, it means I secretly want them.”

FACT: Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, distressing, and extremely common in OCD and anxiety disorders.

One of the most challenging parts of intrusive thoughts is not the thought itself…

…But the fear of what the thought might mean about you. Intrusive thoughts often create distress because they go against your values and identity.

However, the truth is: having an intrusive thought does not mean you secretly want it, believe it, or will act on it.

Remember, you are not your thoughts. 💚

With the right support, you can learn healthier ways to respond to intrusive thoughts without shame.

Therapy is not always about dramatic shifts overnight. Often, it’s an essential part of maintaining your mental health over time:

💚 Gentle nudges in the right direction
💚 Rewiring distorted thought processes
💚 Relearning “how” to think

The most meaningful part of our work is helping our clients improve their quality of life.

Through consistent support and evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), many people begin to notice massive shifts in how they respond to anxiety, stress, and self-doubt over time.

If you’re struggling with general and social anxiety, we’re here to support you. Learn more at anxietyaustin.com
