Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment

What Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment does

Kansas City Center for Anxiety Treatment, P.A. (KCCAT) is a psychologist-led, team-based specialty private practice founded in 2005 in Overland Park, Kansas, focused on the assessment and treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and related conditions across the lifespan (ages 2 through adult). The clinical model centers on evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention (CBT/ERP) as the gold-standard component, supplemented by a range of adjunct modalities including ACT, DBT skills training, Habit Reversal Training / Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB), Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for Selective Mutism. The practice publishes structured treatment outcomes dating to 2014 and maintains an academic posture via a University of Missouri-Kansas City Faculty Affiliate appointment, postdoctoral and practicum training programs, and clinical trial partnership activity with the National Institute of Mental Health.

KCCAT generates revenue through two streams: (1) fee-for-service clinical treatment — a flat-fee two-hour initial assessment followed by appointments prorated by clinician time — delivered in person at the Overland Park facility and via PSYPACT-enabled telehealth across 35+ states; and (2) professional training and consultation, including 6-hour and 3-hour workshops on OCD/ERP and BFRBs, individual consultation for licensed mental health professionals, and customized presentations for schools, healthcare systems, and workplaces. The center operates entirely outside insurance networks, providing Good Faith Estimates under the No Surprises Act, which supports individually tailored treatment durations not constrained by managed-care visit limits. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The practice is structured as a Kansas Professional Association led by ABPP board-certified director Dr. Katie Kriegshauser, with an Associate Clinical Director (Dr. Kristin Gallaway), four named clinical associates, a clinic operations assistant, and rotating postdoctoral and doctoral practicum trainees. Customer acquisition runs primarily through healthcare-provider referrals routed via an online New Patient/Resource Request Screening Form, supplemented by direct patient inquiries and an outreach pipeline built through recurring presentations at national organizations (IOCDF, ADAA, ABCT). No external investment, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Rogers Behavioral Health: National specialty behavioral health system with dedicated OCD and anxiety programs across residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels of care. Comparable as a multi-modality anxiety/OCD specialty provider, though broader in scope and much larger in scale than KCCAT.
• Menninger Clinic: Specialty psychiatric hospital focused on complex, treatment-resistant mental health conditions including severe anxiety and OCD. Comparable at the high-acuity end of the anxiety/OCD treatment spectrum, though residential and academic-affiliated rather than outpatient private practice.
• Child Mind Institute: Independent nonprofit specializing in pediatric mental health including anxiety and OCD, with clinical care, research, and professional training arms. Comparable overlap in pediatric anxiety/OCD treatment and training, though larger, nonprofit, and based in New York.
• McLean OCD Institute / McLean Hospital: Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital with one of the most established specialty OCD and anxiety treatment programs in the US. Comparable as a high-acuity, evidence-based OCD/anxiety specialist, though operating at academic-medical-center scale rather than private-practice scale.

Direct peers

• Pacific Anxiety Group: Specialty anxiety and OCD treatment practice on the West Coast offering evidence-based CBT/ERP therapy across all ages. Directly comparable as a multi-clinician specialty anxiety/OCD private practice using ERP and related modalities.
• Renew Counseling (Anxiety Center): Specialty anxiety and OCD treatment practice operating as a regional team-based center with intensive outpatient programming. Directly comparable in clinical scope and team-based specialty model; one KCCAT associate previously interned in its IOP program.
• Anxiety Treatment Center of Greater Chicago: Specialty outpatient anxiety and OCD treatment practice in the Chicago metro area, team-based with focus on CBT/ERP. Directly comparable as a similarly sized specialty anxiety/OCD private practice in another Midwestern market.

Others

• Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA): National professional membership organization for clinicians and researchers focused on anxiety, depression, and related disorders. Comparable as the leading convener in the same clinical niche; KCCAT is a member and regular presenter, but ADAA is not a service provider peer.
• International OCD Foundation (IOCDF): National nonprofit dedicated to OCD and related disorders, providing provider directory listings, training, and annual conference. Comparable ecosystem role; IOCDF is not a clinical competitor but directly funnels patients to specialty providers like KCCAT.

Regional players

• Western Psychological and Counseling Services (WPCS): Large Pacific Northwest outpatient mental health provider offering therapy and assessment across anxiety, OCD, and other conditions. Partial overlap in outpatient anxiety services and team-based delivery model, though broader in clinical scope and geography.
