About

Founded in 2014 by Dr. Josh Spitalnick, a Licensed Psychologist, Board Certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology, and Training Faculty member for the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), Anxiety Specialists of Atlanta is a nationally-recognized OCD and anxiety treatment center dedicated to providing evidence-based psychological services.

Headquartered in beautiful Dunwoody, Georgia (a northern suburb of Atlanta, Ga), our multidisciplinary team provides in-person services to the Metro Atlanta community along with video-based telehealth services to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples throughout Georgia and in over 35 other states (see ASoA PSYPACT® Team for more information).

Our Approach

 

We are a team of passionate, kind, specialized mental health professionals dedicated to helping everyone we are fortunate to interact with. We understand how difficult it can be to ask for help and how much stigma is associated with having mental health issues. We strive to provide a safe, inclusive, accepting, and supportive environment for all of our clients. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live their life free from the burden of mental health challenges.

We provide comprehensive care for children, adolescents, and adults. Our OCD and anxiety treatment center offers a variety of therapies tailored to suit your needs. Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, phobias, sleep difficulties, challenges with transitions in life, relationship struggles, or any other emotional and behavioral issues, our dedicated team is here to help you find the right treatment plan. 

From assessment to diagnosis, and treatment planning to treatment implementation, all of our services are rooted in the science of psychological research. Our evidence-based services include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, the Maudsley Approach for Family-based Treatment (FBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Metacognitive Therapies, as well as numerous treatment and support groups, intensive outpatient programs and parent, family, and couples-related support and treatment options.

Given our training, dedication to science, and areas of specialty, our team provides various consulting and psychoeducational services to other professionals, organizations, and families who seek information, resources, workshops, parenting seminars, and community presentations throughout the Atlanta community as well at local, regional and national professional conferences.

Anxiety Specialists of Atlanta is now an Institutional Member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). The mission of the IOCDF is important to us and aligns with our group’s goal of bringing specialized treatment to the OCD community. We hope that the Institutional Member designation will help communities in Georgia and in the over 35 states we serve to get better connected with effective treatment.
