Therapy at North Oakland begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine and accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Other interventions include psycho-education to increase the client's awareness of how anxiety and depression operate, as well as what to expect in counseling, relaxation training and restructuring, exposure therapy, assertiveness training and relapse prevention.

​

Treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the client and presented in an easy to understand and engaging manner. The majority of the clients begin to feel relief in a few sessions and over the course of brief therapy, gain the skills they need to manage their mood over a lifetime.

Special care is taken to involve the parents of children so that they have the tools to help their child at home.
