Our child and adolescent therapists will work collaboratively with campers to develop an individualized plan tailored to their specific camp goals. For established patients of Austin Anxiety and OCD Specialists, treatment planning can also be integrated into ongoing weekly therapy sessions before and after camp to support continuity of care and reinforce treatment goals. For campers referred from outside providers, our clinical team will collaborate with referring professionals, when appropriate, to promote consistency across treatment settings. Campers will face their fears through fun, adventure-based activities such as zip-lining, trapeze, and hiking. Our licensed therapists (PhD/PsyD, LCSW, LMFT, LPC) will take a compassionate, skills-building approach throughout the weekend, incorporating evidence-based treatment interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). At Austin Anxiety and OCD Specialists, our therapists understand that anxiety and OCD often affect the entire family system. During Camp Courage weekend, parents will have the opportunity to participate in therapy workshops grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), designed to help caregivers respond effectively to anxiety-driven behaviors, reduce family accommodation, and strengthen their child’s resilience.
