Founded in 2014 by Dr. Josh Spitalnick, Anxiety Specialists of Atlanta has served as a Center of Excellence for over a decade, focusing on serving children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples who battle anxiety, OCD, and related disorders. Headquartered in beautiful Dunwoody, Georgia, our multidisciplinary team provides in-person treatment to the Metro Atlanta community along with telehealth services to more than 40 states.
Our brand of clinical care emphasizes the science of anxiety assessment and treatment, along with compassionate, culturally-informed, and highly engaging treatment approaches, including CBT, ERP, ACT, DBT, DBT-C, CBIT, and CPT. We also offer treatment intensive programs (IOPs) for those who seek a higher level of care. Our team provides a wealth of no-cost and low-cost group offerings, including groups for parents, caregivers, and romantic partners supporting those with OCD, as well as groups for those with lived experience with OCD, health anxiety, BFRBs, and social anxiety. We remain dedicated to increasing the availability, accessibility, and affordability of evidence-based treatment and educational resources for everyone.

Diversity Statement:
We are deeply committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. Embracing and celebrating our differences fosters a stronger and more vibrant community, as it undeniably enhances the health and well-being of our clients, staff, and people in our community. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, or any other dimension of diversity. In our pursuit of equity, we continuously assess and challenge our practices, policies, and systems to ensure they are fair, unbiased, and supportive of diversity.
Our staff attends annual continuing education workshops that specifically address cultural competence in psychotherapy. We also meet weekly as a team to discuss clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with race, sexual orientation, gender, religious identification, and other contextual variables addressed specifically in case formulation. Finally, our practice owner, Dr. Josh Spitalnick, trained at the Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology (CMTP) during residency through Boston University, and brings his experiences and expertise in this domain of cultural competence to the training of all staff clinicians.
