At Midwest Anxiety, group therapy provides children, teens, and families with the opportunity to learn and practice practical skills for managing anxiety and life’s challenges in a supportive, collaborative environment. While anxiety, depression, and life’s struggles can often make individuals feel isolated or misunderstood, group therapy helps participants realize they are not alone. Being surrounded by others who are facing similar struggles creates a sense of connection, encouragement, and shared progress.
Our groups are led by trained therapists and are designed to help participants build confidence, resilience, and emotional strength alongside peers who are working toward similar goals. Each group provides a structured yet supportive space where participants can learn new coping strategies, practice skills in real time, and receive encouragement from both therapists and other group members.
Midwest Anxiety groups focus heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills. CBT helps participants understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. When individuals learn to recognize how anxious thoughts influence their emotions and actions, they begin to gain greater control over how they respond to difficult situations. Through guided discussions, structured activities, and real-life skill practice, participants learn how to challenge anxious thinking, face fears gradually, regulate strong emotions, and develop healthier behavioral responses.
One of the greatest strengths of group therapy is the opportunity to practice these skills in a real-world social setting. Participants can share experiences, learn from others, and see how peers are working through similar challenges. This process often reduces feelings of shame and isolation while increasing motivation and accountability. The group environment becomes a safe place to try new skills, take manageable risks, receive feedback, and experience success.
Midwest Anxiety offers a variety of groups throughout the year focused on common challenges such as anxiety management, emotional regulation, social confidence, parenting anxious children, and building mental resilience. Each group is designed to provide practical tools that participants can begin applying immediately in their everyday lives at home, school, and in relationships.
Group therapy can be a powerful option for many families. For some, it serves as a stand-alone service when individual therapy may feel too intensive or financially difficult. For others, group therapy works as a supplement to individual therapy, helping reinforce and accelerate the skills being learned in Individual Therapy.
Our goal at Midwest Anxiety is to help individuals and families become more confident in facing life’s challenges while building the skills necessary for long-term emotional health, independence, and resilience. Through shared learning, encouragement, and practical skill development, group therapy provides a meaningful pathway toward lasting growth and change.

Our team of licensed psychologists uses a multidisciplinary approach—combining neuropsychological, psychoeducational, and psychological assessments—grounded in the latest neuroscience and educational psychology research.
Our intervention-focused assessments do more than deliver a diagnosis. We aim to uncover the underlying causes of academic and functional challenges, empowering families and educators with actionable insights. By identifying an individual’s unique cognitive strengths and weaknesses, we help shape effective treatment strategies and educational plans tailored for success at school, in college, and beyond.
If you don’t know what’s wrong, you can’t fix it—understanding is the first step toward meaningful change.

What do I get in Individual Therapy?
Convenience. You do not have to fight traffic, deal with difficult weather, find a babysitter, or manage the other challenges that can come with attending office-based therapy. By bringing therapy to you, we help you save time, remain comfortable, and receive support in the environments where life actually happens.
Individualized Treatment Plan. We will assess your current situation and help you develop specific social, emotional, and behavioral goals. With a clear focus on your treatment goals, our target is to help you make meaningful progress and accomplish your goals within three to four months.
Assessment-Based Treatment. There is no need to guess how therapy is going. We use regular assessments to track your progress and monitor anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. When treatment is working, we will continue building on that progress. When it is not, we will make adjustments to help get things back on track.
Multidisciplinary Team Approach. You are not limited to the perspective or experience of only one therapist. Midwest Anxiety therapists collaborate and consult with one another to provide thoughtful, coordinated, and individualized care. Depending on your needs, you may also benefit from working with more than one Midwest Anxiety therapist, with each therapist contributing a different area of expertise or treatment focus.
With your permission, we may also coordinate with physicians, pediatricians, psychiatrists, schools, coaches, and other important members of your support system. This team-based approach helps ensure that everyone is working toward the same goals across the environments where you live, learn, work, and play.
Cognitive Behavioral Skill Set. We will help you develop a practical set of Cognitive Behavioral skills focused on improving negative thoughts, managing difficult emotions, and changing behaviors that may be interfering with your life.
Access to Your Own Personal Portal. Your secure portal keeps communication, treatment information, assessments, forms, check-ins, and resources organized in one convenient place.
“Real Life” Sessions. We work with you in person and through video sessions in the environments where you live, learn, work, and play. This allows us to practice skills in the situations where you need them most.
“Real Time” Support. We do not believe in simply saying, “See you in a couple of weeks.” Through regular online check-ins, we maintain a heartbeat on how things are going between sessions. When you are rockin’ it, we will continue with your scheduled sessions. When you are struggling, we can adjust the plan and schedule additional support as needed.
Round-the-Clock Access. Your struggles may not wait until your next scheduled session, so we do not make you wait to ask for help. Whether you are struggling at 2:00 a.m. during a sleepover, cannot fall asleep because of a worry, or are facing another difficult situation, you can reach out for support no matter the time or place.
Unlimited Questions and Check-Ins Through the Portal. Got a question? Ask away. We are here to help you apply your skills, work through challenges, and stay connected throughout treatment.
