LONG BEACH, California (January 16, 2026) — OCD Anxiety Centers will host a community open house at its Long Beach location, offering families, educators, and healthcare providers an opportunity to tour the program and learn about specialized treatment for anxiety and OCD.

When: Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm

The open house will showcase the program’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which provides three hours of daily treatment, Monday through Friday, enabling clients to receive concentrated care while maintaining their daily routines. With the addition of Long Beach, OCD Anxiety Centers now serves Southern California through programs in Corona, Laguna Niguel, and Westlake Village, alongside a statewide Virtual IOP .
“Opening our doors to the Long Beach community represents breaking down barriers surrounding anxiety and OCD treatment,” said Paul Peterson, LCSW, Founder and CEO of OCD Anxiety Centers. “Our intensive outpatient format has helped thousands reclaim their lives, achieving an average 64% symptom reduction. This open house is our invitation to discover how we can help transform lives through proven therapeutic approaches.”
Grounded in the gold-standard approach of Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP), the program guides individuals ages 8 and up through effective treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder, among many other diagnoses. With 95% of clients accessing care through insurance and a powerful 79% achieving recovery, the program doesn’t just offer hope – it delivers real, measurable change for the community.
“We’re excited to demonstrate how evidence-based treatment can make a profound difference,” said Evan Thomas, DSW, LCSW, Program Director for Long Beach. “Our program offers hope through structured, proven methods that help clients build confidence and regain control. We encourage anyone who knows someone struggling with anxiety or OCD to attend.”
During the open house, visitors can tour the treatment program, meet the clinical team, learn about evidence-based approaches, discover insurance coverage options, and ask questions about anxiety and OCD treatment. The event is free and open to the public and visitors are welcome to stop by any time between 11:30 am and 5:30 pm. To RSVP, visit www.ocdanxietycenters.com/long-beach.
