    What OCD Really Looks Like in Kids and Teens

    Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children and teens is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or overlooked. At Genesis Counseling, we shed light on what OCD really looks like in young people—beyond the stereotypes. From constant reassurance seeking to avoidance, rituals, and emotional distress, OCD can disrupt everyday life in significant ways. Our trained clinicians use CBT, ERP, and creative therapies to help kids and families navigate symptoms with clarity and confidence. With in-person sessions in South Florida and virtual therapy statewide, we’re here to help your child take back control.

  • What Happens in Your First Therapy Session?

    If you’re considering therapy for the first time, it’s normal to feel unsure about what to expect. At Genesis Counseling, we want your first session to feel like a step toward healing, not a source of stress. Your initial appointment, known as an intake session, is a collaborative conversation where your therapist learns about your life, challenges, and goals. This session sets the foundation for your care and helps build a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you’re coming in for individual therapy, child therapy, or family support, our experienced team across South Florida—and virtually across the state—is here to walk with you, every step of the way.
