Child Therapy OCD San Diego

  • At Resilience Counseling we’re dedicated to helping kids (ages 5 and up) and their families navigate the challenges that come with growing up. We have in person appointments available. Whether your child is dealing with OCD, Anxiety or just needs a little extra support, we’re here to help.

  • Yes, we do. In-person therapy is very important for kids. Meeting face to face helps children feel more comfortable, build trust, and practice skills in real time. Our San Diego office is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where kids can get the support they need.

  • Anxiety and OCD can look the same at first. Both involve worry and stress. The difference is that OCD has repetitive thoughts and behaviors. Kids with OCD often feel they must do certain things, like wash hands or check doors, to feel safe. Anxiety usually shows up as worry without those repeated actions. At Resilience Counseling our child OCD therapists can help and assess what’s going on and guide you and your child toward the right support.

  • We know how tough it can be when your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD. It can be difficult to know how to help them. That’s why we specialize in these areas, using evidence-based approaches to provide the most effective care. About 80% of the clients we work with are managing anxiety or OCD, so we’re very familiar with the unique struggles these issues bring.

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the type of therapy that works best for OCD. It has been studied more than any other treatment, and research shows it really helps. Sometimes kids and families think therapy will not work because they have tried other kinds before that didn’t help. That can feel discouraging. But OCD is different—it needs a special type of therapy.

    With ERP, kids practice facing their fears in small steps while learning not to do the compulsions that usually follow. Over time, this helps the fear shrink and gives kids more control. At Resilience Counseling, all of our therapists are trained in ERP and know how to guide kids and families through this process with support and care.

  • Yes, we do. Many kids come to us for anxiety, stress, or life changes, not just OCD. We also support children with ADHD, tics, Tourette Syndrome, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (like hair pulling or skin picking). In addition, we help with trauma, school worries, friendships, and big emotions.

    Our Child therapists use proven methods like CBT, play therapy, and coping skills training to help kids and families in many different areas. If your child is struggling, contact Resilience Counseling today. We’re here to support your child and your family every step of the way.
