Anxiety in childhood and adolescence can feel overwhelming for both young people and their families. At Catherine Alvarado Therapy + EMDR, we provide compassionate, developmentally appropriate therapy that helps children and teens build coping skills, increase emotional regulation, and reduce avoidance so they can engage more fully at school, with peers, and at home. We integrate evidence-based approaches—including cognitive-behavioral techniques, play- and family-centered interventions, and EMDR when appropriate—alongside mind-body strategies to address how anxiety shows up in the body.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each child’s age, temperament, and needs, with caregiver guidance and skill-building to support changes outside the office. If anxiety is limiting your child’s daily life, we offer a safe, practical path toward greater confidence and resilience.

Couples and family therapy for anxiety helps partners and family members understand how anxiety affects relationships and daily life. Through a collaborative, evidence-based approach, we teach communication skills, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies so loved ones can support one another without enabling avoidance or conflict.

Therapy addresses patterns that maintain anxiety—such as accommodation, criticism, or avoidance—while strengthening connection, trust, and shared problem-solving. Suitable for partners and families facing generalized anxiety, panic, health-related worries, or phobias, this work fosters resilience and a calmer, more supportive home environment.
