Helping You Build Confidence and Face Fears
I'm Dr. Melissa Waxman, a psychologist specializing in helping children, teens, and young adults overcome anxiety and OCD. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP), I partner with individuals and families to build confidence, manage worry, and get back to the things that matter most.
Individual Therapy for Anxiety & OCD
When anxiety or OCD is getting in the way of daily life, whether that's school, work, relationships, or social activities, individual therapy provides a safe space to learn practical skills. Together, we'll work on managing worry, facing fears gradually, and building confidence to take on new challenges.
Family Support & Parent Coaching
Parenting a child with anxiety or OCD can feel overwhelming. I work with families to understand what's happening, learn strategies to support their child effectively, and reduce the stress these challenges bring to the whole family.
School Consultation & Collaboration
When school challenges affect learning, behavior, or emotional well-being, I partner with parents, teachers, and service providers to bridge clinical and academic needs and help each child get the individualized support they need.
