Two people can both say, “I have anxiety,” and mean very different things.
Different triggers.
Different histories.
That’s why individualized care matters.

ATCA provides individual therapy for adults, adolescents and children, with clinicians tailoring evidence-based interventions such as CBT, ACT and ERP to the client’s individual needs and goals.

Therapy isn’t about fitting yourself into someone else’s template.

Want to start therapy, but finding the time to actually get there feels impossible?

Maybe you live outside of Austin…

Maybe your schedule is already packed…

Maybe you have young kids at home and finding childcare for a therapy appointment is one more thing to figure out.

That’s where online therapy can help. 💻

With online therapy at ATCA, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.

And you’ll receive the same time, attention, and care as you would in an in-person session, with proven, evidence-based treatment from one of our licensed therapists.

Because getting support shouldn’t have to mean rearranging your entire life.

When your child is anxious, helping them avoid whatever is upsetting them can feel like the most loving response.

Sometimes, though, families can unknowingly begin reorganizing routines around anxiety.

SPACE, or Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions, is a parent-based treatment for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD and related concerns. Parents learn ways to respond supportively while reducing accommodations they may be making around symptoms.

An interesting part? In most cases, the child doesn’t need to attend the sessions.

🤝 Discover how SPACE gives parents practical tools for responding to childhood anxiety:

Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling.

Anxiety may become noticeable through changes in everyday functioning, including school, friendships, routines at home, avoidance, or repeated requests for reassurance.

ATCA notes that ordinary childhood worries can sometimes shift into something more disruptive and that children may hide anxiety or express it in ways that are difficult for adults to recognize.

For parents, noticing patterns can be an important first step toward understanding what a child may be experiencing.

“Healing isn’t about never feeling anxious. It’s about learning that anxiety doesn’t have to make your decisions.”

You can feel anxious and still go.

You can feel afraid and still try.

You can have the thought without acting on it.

You don’t have to wait until you feel completely confident, calm, or ready.

Sometimes the actions come first, and the confidence comes later. 💚

No traffic.
No waiting room.
No calculating whether you can make it across Austin before your appointment. 😅

ATCA offers online individual therapy, providing clients with the same session time, attention and therapeutic care without needing to meet in person.

For some people, removing the commute makes fitting therapy into an already busy week a little more manageable.

💬 Would eliminating the drive make therapy easier to fit into your schedule?

When people hear “OCD,” they often picture cleaning, organizing, or checking.

But OCD can also involve intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, reassurance seeking, avoidance, or a strong need to feel certain before moving on.

Because OCD can show up in so many different ways, recognizing the cycle is an important part of getting the right support.

💬 Before learning more about OCD, what did you think it usually looked like?

09/08/2026

Back-to-school can be a major transition for kids with anxiety (and parents!). New routines, new teachers, separation, and social anxiety can feel overwhelming.

And anxiety often doesn’t look like, “I’m anxious.” It sounds like…

“I don’t want to go.”
“My stomach hurts.”
“I can’t sleep.”

So here are a few simple ways you can help support the transition from summer to school:

💬 Validate their feelings
Listen, acknowledge, and let them know how you feel about the change in routine too, it helps them know they aren’t alone.

🌅 Make mornings predictable
Talk through the new morning routine ahead of time. Simple steps, clear expectations, and even visual routine magnets can make mornings feel much less overwhelming.

📚 Create a homework a routine
A structured homework schedule can help kids know what to expect. Offer encouragement, breaks, snacks, and plenty of positive feedback.

🌙 Reset bedtime
Summer often means later nights and later mornings. Creating boundaries with screens and implementing a wind down routine help your child adjust to their new school schedule.

Sometimes people wait to ask for help because they think what they're going through isn't “bad enough.”

But struggling quietly is still struggling.

During Su***de Prevention Month, we're reminding our community that reaching out for support doesn't require waiting until you've reached your limit. If anxiety, fear, OCD, or overwhelming worry is interfering with everyday life, starting a conversation with a mental health professional can be an important step.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or having thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
