Company Description

Raising Brave Kids - Specialized Child Anxiety & OCD Therapy Services is dedicated to providing expert, compassionate care for children, teens, and their families dealing with anxiety and OCD. Our mission is to empower young individuals and their support systems with effective therapeutic tools and strategies for overcoming challenges. We are committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative environment that emphasizes evidence-based treatment approaches. Based in Portland, OR, we are proud to be a trusted resource in the community, helping young people build resilience and confidence.

What makes Raising Brave Kids different? You won’t just “see clients”—you’ll be trained and mentored to deliver high-quality, evidence-based treatment that actually creates change outside the therapy room.
