  • “After years of suffering from OCD and anxiety and seeing multiple therapists who claimed they specialized in treating these debilitating disorders, I have finally found a course of action that works (ERP) - and the right people to help. Lori and Mary have guided me toward a serenity I never thought possible. If I were reading this testimonial, I would think "that sounds too good to be true." I assure you, it isn't. Give Anxiety Center of Tampa a chance, trust your therapist, work hard, and recovery from these disorders will be more than possible! Beware of any therapist who attempts to treat OCD or anxiety without ERP! Had I found Lori and Mary sooner, I would have saved thousands of dollars on other treatments and more importantly, would have been liberated from these disorders years ago! I owe the quality of my life to Anxiety Center of Tampa.”

  • I am so thankful for Anxiety Center of Tampa and for the care Sheree took with my son. Based on how standoffish he was in the beginning, I was concerned she wouldn’t be able to reach him, but her patience and perseverance paid off. Within a few sessions she was able to connect with him and guide him through how to take control of, and manage his OCD. He has been doing exponentially better since working with Sheree and I cannot recommend her services enough. If you are as desperate to help your child as I was, reach out to Anxiety Center of Tampa. They are responsive, professional and made me feel like they were always available and willing to help.

  • "I am very happy with my progress with Lori. She has helped me a lot with my OCD by using ICBT methods. I came to her after realizing ERP from a previous clinician was not working. I’ve been in therapy for many years but have never experienced “break throughs/Aha! ” moments before like I have with her. She helps you find a way to connect your own dots. What I really enjoy about her is that she’s non judgmental, supportive, and compassionate. I always feel like I’m going to come to her with the craziest thought or idea she’s ever heard. However, that’s not the case, she’s been doing this a while and she’s helped a lot of people so she’s heard it all. I also suffer from general anxiety, so it’s nice to have a clinician that can help me with my OCD and anxiety depending on the day or whatever I am feeling in the moment. I’m very happy with the progression I have made with her and look forward to continuing to better myself with her support. I’m very thankful to have found Lori."

  • "Working with Lori over the last year to treat my OCD has truly changed my life for the better. Living with OCD can feel so lonely, but Lori’s extensive knowledge combined with her warm and supportive approach immediately made me feel like I not only had a path forward, but someone who was going to support me and be by my side along the way. If you are seeking treatment and are unsure of your next steps, I urge you to reach out to Lori and Anxiety Center of Tampa! It is truly one of the best decisions I’ve made!"

  • "I'm writing this out of the utmost appreciation for an incredible OCD non profit called JACK! With their generous scholarship I have been blessed to get evidenced-based OCD treatment! OCD treatment is different than typical therapy covered by insurance companies. Unfortunately, I could not find 1 OCD therapist that accepts my insurance. At 55 years old and after 28 years of living with very little OCD, I found myself in the midst of a devastating lapse with extreme anxiety and severe insomnia. It was terrifying, I was overwhelmed, exhausted and desperate for help. After several sessions with 2 different therpists I found through my insurance company, it was obvious they had no experience treating OCD & knew nothing about the evidenced based treatments. This only added to my fears, hopelessness and concerns. I even looked into intensive outpatient treatment at a local hospital that specializes in OCD, they do not take my insurance. My search turned to private providers but I knew I couldn't afford to self pay. I found the OCD/anxiety experts at the Anxiety Center in Tampa, Fl and inquired about a scholarship or sliding scale. I was overjoyed to hear about the scholarship that JACK provides them and started treatment. I can truly say that the treatment has been life changing and I'm eternally grateful to JACK & the Anxiety Center for this amazing gift & opportunity to claim my life back!"

Anxiety treatment in Tampa starts with real conversations.

When your thoughts don’t slow down, and your chest feels heavy for no clear reason, it can feel like you’re the only one struggling. But many who seek anxiety treatment in Tampa don’t want vague advice, and they want someone who gets it. Whether you’re battling panic attacks, spiraling thoughts, or daily dread, change often begins with a conversation that feels like the first breath in a while.

Anxiety isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it wears a smile, works hard, and hides in perfectionism. Here’s what it might quietly look like:

  • Canceling plans because you’re mentally exhausted

  • Replaying a conversation from three days ago

  • Googling symptoms when you feel a small ache

  • Avoiding elevators, flights, or phone calls

  • Always bracing for something to go wrong

These aren’t quirks. They’re patterns that therapy can help shift. Slowly. Gently. Clearly.

A center for anxiety disorders where habits are unlearned

A solid center for anxiety disorders doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all support. It understands that the repetition anxiety feeds on, like checking, avoiding, or overanalyzing. It meets those patterns with clarity and practice. Whether it’s fear of germs, health, or intrusive thoughts, the right help exists. The Anxiety Center of Tampa is one place that focuses on proven methods, guiding people back to steadier ground.

Not every anxious mind looks the same.

What anxiety therapy in Tampa looks like from the inside

Anxiety therapy in Tampa isn’t just talk. It’s an action. It asks you to face the things you avoid, but never alone. It gives you language for what you feel, structure for what you fear, and steps that make the impossible a little more possible. Some days, you’ll move inches; other days, you’ll surprise yourself. But you’ll be moving.

Finding an anxiety therapist in Tampa that fits your rhythm

A thoughtful anxiety therapist in Tampa doesn’t fix you. They walk with you. They listen between the lines and help you hear yourself differently.

What they often bring:

  • A way of explaining anxiety that actually clicks

  • Small strategies that fold into everyday life

  • Patience without passiveness

  • Direction without pressure

That’s the kind of presence you’ll often find at places like the Anxiety Center of Tampa, where therapy feels more human than clinical.

Some thoughts are not permanent.

You don’t have to keep every fear that shows up. You don’t have to stay in survival mode. Tampa has therapists who understand. You’re not too much. You’re not alone. And your quiet progress counts.
