Description:
InStride Health provides specialty anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) care through an evidence-based treatment approach grounded in CBT with a focus on exposure therapy. They specialize in treating young patients whose anxiety/OCD is causing significant impairment in life (school avoidance, social isolation, PANS/PANDAS, physical manifestations etc.) Each patient gets a dedicated, multidisciplinary care team including a psychiatrist with medication management, therapist and exposure coach who together support children, teens and young adults (ages 7-22) across the full range of acuity to give patients the proper tools to feel empowered and get back to their daily lives.
Within their program, they incorporate the entire family as well as the school system when needed to create a surround sound care model. We are able to create collaborative care plans with schools in cases of school avoidance and have teachers/mental health counselors familiar with InStride's care language to best support the child. They also operate parent support and skills groups built into our program to allow parents to better understand and respond to their child's thoughts and behaviors, as well as teach them skills and language to use within their home to feel more empowered. In cases of treatment resistance, there is a parent-only track with the goal of incorporating the patient into full time care.
Outpatient services are delivered fully in virtual mode.
