Which Austin therapists does Claude recommend?

I can't vouch for any one person, and I couldn't check individual reviews or whether each practice is taking new clients. These are places to start looking:

- Anxiety Treatment Center of Austin is a specialty practice. It appeared in Yelp's results for anxiety therapists in Austin. - Bloom Therapy also appeared in those Yelp results. - Just Mind says every therapist on its list works with anxiety and sees clients at its North or South Austin office, online, or both. - TherapyDen and Grow Therapy are directories where you can filter Austin therapists by anxiety, insurance and online or in-person sessions.

How to choose: 1. Look for training in CBT or exposure-based therapy (ERP). These have the strongest evidence for anxiety, and ERP is especially useful for OCD and panic. 2. Check that the therapist is licensed (LPC, LCSW, LMFT or a psychologist). You can verify this on the Texas state licensing boards' sites. 3. Ask whether they're accepting new clients, what they charge, and whether they take your insurance. Many therapists are out-of-network, and some offer sliding-scale fees. 4. Book a free 15-minute consult with two or three therapists. Fit with the therapist predicts results well. 5. If you're considering medication, a psychiatrist or your primary care doctor can help alongside therapy.

If you're in crisis, you can call or text 988. I can narrow the list if you tell me your insurance, whether you want in-person or online sessions, and what kind of anxiety you're dealing with (panic, social anxiety, OCD or general worry).
