About Dear Therapy
Specialized care for OCD and anxiety in Atlanta
Dear Therapy is an OCD and anxiety practice founded in 2024 by Hailee Dear, LCSW. We help children (ages 5+), teens, adults, and families face their fears with evidence-based care, in person in Atlanta and virtually across Georgia.
Our story
Why Dear Therapy exists
Before founding Dear Therapy, Hailee trained in CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) at Rogers Behavioral Health, where she treated children and teens with acute OCD and anxiety in an intensive program. She later worked as a therapist at one of Atlanta’s leading private practices for OCD and anxiety. Along the way, she worked with young people who had struggled in past treatment, kids facing school refusal, and families caught in cycles of accommodation.
She started Dear Therapy to bring that specialized, family-centered care to an outpatient setting: a place where kids, teens, adults, and parents learn to face anxiety instead of working around it.
Our approach
What working with us looks like
Evidence-based
We use treatments with strong research behind them, like ERP and CBT, not just talk therapy.
The whole family
Anxiety affects everyone at home. Parents and caregivers are part of the plan, especially for kids and teens.
Challenging but doable
You and your therapist build the plan together and move step by step, at a pace that stretches you without overwhelming you.
A specialized focus
OCD and anxiety are what we do every day, from intrusive thoughts to selective mutism to ARFID.
