UCLA Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program

We are a research and clinical specialty program dedicated to providing state-of-the-art care for children and adolescents struggling with anxiety and related disorders. Our goal is to deliver effective, evidence-based treatments to improve the lives of youth dealing with conditions such as OCD, anxiety, tic, and body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) disorders. We do this via research, teaching, and community partnerships and through our specialty treatment program for young people experiencing these conditions.
