Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program Clinic
At the UCLA Child OCD, Anxiety & Tic Disorders Program, we provide evidence-based therapies to help children and adolescents manage their symptoms and improve daily life. We are a short-term stabilization option, thus we do NOT provide long-term or “lifetime’ therapy. Our primary treatments include:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, which helps children identify and change negative thought patterns.
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, which reduces compulsive behaviors by gradually exposing children to anxiety-provoking situations.
- Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), which teaches children strategies to manage and reduce tic behaviors.
