I highly recommend the Cincinnati Anxiety Center for anyone dealing with OCD or anxiety. After my OCD diagnosis, I initially considered the Lindner Center, but I'm so glad I chose this practice instead. I've been working with Sarah for over three years and have made tremendous progress through ERP therapy. She is especially skilled in treating scrupulosity OCD— as she is collaborative, structured, and incredibly supportive throughout the difficult but effective ERP process. The entire staff at the Cincinnati Anxiety Center is warm, professional, and truly dedicated to patient care. The only drawback is that they do not accept insurance, but in my experience, this is common among highly trained ERP therapists. This is a shortcoming of the broader U.S. healthcare system, not the practice itself. I can't recommend the Cincinnati Anxiety Center enough. It has been one of the best investments I've made in my mental health, and I'm deeply grateful for the expertise and compassion of their therapists and staff.

The Anxiety Center truly changed my life and I could not recommend them more highly. I participated in the Intensive Outpatient Program for anxiety and OCD. Everyone at the center is extremely kind and you can tell that they truly care about you. Everyone is enthusiastic and makes you feel like they are happy to see you. Staff at The Anxiety Center are very knowledgeable and the IOP consistently provided helpful information that is backed by science and research. My severe OCD was treated in a quick manner and I was provided with a strong foundation to remain free of OCD. Treatment was very personalized and everyone was always available to talk when I needed help, as I could always text who I was working with and they would respond quickly with helpful information. Not only has my OCD been treated effectively, but I have improved my life in other areas as well through the advice given by The Anxiety Center. I can not overstate how much I enjoyed my experience and how much my OCD improved. Anyone with OCD or anxiety should come to the center as the treatment provided is excellent and changed my life.

I had an appointment with Stephanie for the first time back in august. She actually listens and cares about her patients. She actually asked me what works best for my anxiety. Most doctors don't do that and ignore or rush you out the door. Many times i've left my old doctor feeling like nothing was accomplished and in the same boat. Thankful I found this place!

I am so impressed by The Anxiety Center. As someone who has been hospitalized five times, done IOPs with the Cleveland clinic, and different types of private therapy-The Anxiety Center has totally changed and helped me in ways nothing else has. Michael Siman and Sarah Snow have helped me tremendously as I try to work through my severe ocd and anxiety. I highly recommend!

My child has made significant progress under Dr Fite, then Ali and Jeremy. When we needed to increase therapy, it happened. When we needed to cut back therapy, it happened. Most importantly, my child trusts any of the therapists to guide her to learning to live with OCD and anxiety.

The Anxiety Center truly changed my life. The Lord led me to them at a time when I truly felt that my life might never get back to "normal". After struggling with debilitating anxiety and OCD for 2 years, I was desperate for help and reached out to the Anxiety Center. They were an absolute answer to all of our prayers. Skylar, Sarah Snow and Marielle were/are my therapists and there truly are not enough words to tell how amazing they are. They are gifted beyond words, the most caring women, so knowledgeable and truly the best of the best. I will forever be grateful to them. The fact that there are nurse practitioners, therapists and many other resources all in one building is phenomenal, and makes the steps to healing so much easier than working with multiple different practices/doctors. Thank you Dr. Fite for what you have built!! You all are changing lives one day at a time!!!!

They have treated me with dignity and respect. I've struggled for over a decade and this is the first time I have a therapist that actually understands what I am going through because he has a lived experience with the hell of ocd/anxiety and depression. I feel protected and cared for every time I enter the building.
