Our services
Specialized, research-backed care for children, teens, and adults. Whether you’re dealing with OCD, anxiety, an eating disorder, or trauma, or you’re looking for affirming support for ADHD or autism, we’ll build a plan with you that fits your life.
One-on-one, focused on you
One-on-one therapy for OCD, anxiety, ADHD, autism, ARFID, and trauma. We match you with a clinician whose training fits what you're walking through, and we tailor the approach to you.
For children as young as 3
Putting big feelings into words isn't always possible yet, so we meet children where they are. Play therapy uses play, a child's most natural language, to help them express what they can't yet say, work through worry and overwhelming emotions, and build the skills to feel more like themselves again. For autistic children we also offer AutPlay Therapy.
How we work
Everyone who comes to Layers is different, so your plan is built around you, never the other way around. Some of the approaches we draw from:
ERP
Exposure and response prevention, the most studied treatment for OCD: gradually facing fears while letting go of compulsions, so they lose their grip.
I-CBT
Inference-based CBT, an OCD treatment that works on the reasoning behind obsessions, with no exposures.
SPACE
A parent-based program for child and teen anxiety and OCD, where small changes in how you respond ease your child’s distress.
AutPlay
A play-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach for autistic and neurodivergent children.
CBT · DBT · ACT
Cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and acceptance and commitment therapies: practical skills for anxious thoughts, big emotions, and living by what matters to you.
Getting started
Knowing what's coming makes reaching out a little easier. You don't need the right words or a tidy explanation of what's wrong. You just need to show up. We'll take it from there.
Free consult
15 minutes · video
A free video call with the clinician you want to work with. For a child, this call is usually with you, the parent or caregiver. It's a chance to:
Share a little about what’s bringing you or your child in
Get a feel for the therapist and how they work
Ask anything about approach, scheduling, or fees
Decide together whether it feels like the right fit
First session
About 50 minutes
Your first session is mostly about getting to know you. Like every session after it, it runs about 50 minutes. You set the pace, and there’s nothing to prepare beyond a little paperwork:
Intake forms arrive through our secure client portal; please complete them at least 24 hours before
We talk through what brought you in, a bit of your history, and what you'd like to feel different
For younger children, this session usually includes time with you, the caregiver
Fees and insurance
Private pay · superbills · HSA / FSA
Your consultation is free. After that, we're a private-pay practice, which keeps your care between you and your clinician:
Not in-network with insurance, but we provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement
HSA and FSA cards accepted
Session rates depend on your therapist, and every rate is listed on our Fees page
