Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health conditions, yet it can be incredibly isolating and debilitating. While everyone experiences worry or stress from time to time, clinical anxiety involves persistent and overwhelming fear that interferes with daily life.
We treat the full spectrum of anxiety disorders, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Characterized by chronic worry and tension, even when there is little or no apparent cause.
Panic Disorder: Involves sudden and intense episodes of fear (panic attacks) accompanied by physical symptoms like heart palpitations, dizziness, and breathlessness.
Social Anxiety Disorder: Extreme fear of social situations and being judged by others, often leading to avoidance behaviors.
Specific Phobias: Irrational fears related to specific objects, activities, or situations (e.g., heights, flying, needles).
Our therapists utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients manage symptoms and regain a sense of control.
Depression is more than sadness—it can affect your energy levels, sleep, motivation, relationships, and overall quality of life. At Waypoint Behavioral Health, we provide compassionate, holistic care for individuals living with mood disorders, including:
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.
Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): Chronic, low-level depression that lasts for two years or more.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Depression that occurs during specific seasons, usually winter, when natural sunlight is limited.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): Severe mood swings and depressive symptoms linked to hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle.
Our team offers a combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and wellness strategies to support individuals in building a more balanced, meaningful life.
Bipolar disorder involves alternating episodes of depression and mania or hypomania, leading to extreme mood swings that can disrupt daily functioning. Individuals may feel euphoric and energetic one week and hopeless and fatigued the next.
Types we treat include:
Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by manic episodes that may last at least seven days, often with depressive episodes.
Bipolar II Disorder: Involves cycles of depression and hypomania (less severe mania).
Cyclothymic Disorder: Ongoing mood fluctuations that are less severe but longer lasting.
Our team provides structured care to help clients manage mood stability, identify early warning signs, and build tools for long-term self-regulation.
Unresolved trauma can lead to emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms that interfere with everyday life. Trauma may stem from childhood abuse, accidents, military combat, sexual assault, or other distressing events.
We specialize in the treatment of:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, and avoidance of trauma-related triggers.
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD): Resulting from prolonged or repeated trauma, often in early development stages.
Acute Stress Disorder: Short-term stress response occurring within one month of a traumatic event.
Our clinicians use trauma-informed therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), DBT, and somatic techniques to help clients process trauma safely and reclaim their sense of safety and identity.

OCD involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce distress. This cycle can be exhausting and time-consuming, interfering with work, relationships, and personal well-being.
Examples of OCD symptoms include:
Excessive handwashing or cleaning
Repeated checking (e.g., locks, appliances)
Mental rituals (e.g., counting, praying, reviewing)
Intrusive thoughts about harm, morality, or contamination
Waypoint Behavioral Health uses Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a specialized form of CBT, to help clients break the OCD cycle and develop healthier ways to manage distress.
Personality disorders involve deeply ingrained behavior patterns and thought processes that cause significant difficulties in relationships, emotional regulation, and self-perception.
We provide structured care for:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Marked by intense mood swings, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, impulsivity, and self-harm.
Avoidant Personality Disorder: Characterized by social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to rejection.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD): Involves a rigid preoccupation with order, control, and perfectionism.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Involves inflated self-importance, need for admiration, and difficulty empathizing with others.
Our clinicians are trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mentalization-based therapy, and schema therapy, which are effective approaches for managing personality disorders.
Many individuals experience both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder—a situation known as co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis. Mental health struggles may lead to self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, which in turn exacerbates psychiatric symptoms.
We treat co-occurring challenges by integrating:
Mental health counseling
Relapse prevention strategies
Psychoeducation around substance use
Psychiatric medication management
Referrals to appropriate addiction services if needed
Waypoint offers dual diagnosis support for individuals whose substance use is secondary to their mental health concerns. For more severe substance use disorders, we can coordinate care with higher-level addiction treatment partners.
