Separation Anxiety Disorder Treatment in Orange County, CA
Heal the Fear of Being Alone in a Supportive Residential Environment
While often associated with children, Separation Anxiety Disorder can deeply affect adults — especially those navigating trauma, attachment wounds, or sudden life changes. If you find yourself paralyzed by the thought of being away from loved ones or unable to function when alone, you’re not weak — you’re overwhelmed, and you deserve support.
