Who we are
The Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill is the oldest psychology outpatient treatment center (est. 2016) that utilizes evidence-based treatments of anxiety, depressive, and behavioral disorders in Capitol Hill in patients of
ALL AGES
(Children, adolescents, young adults, adults, older adults, and families).
We employ cognitive-behavioral treatments to treat these disorders, with a special emphasis on exposure-based therapies.
