You can support your child’s tendency for extreme worry, avoidance, and compulsive behavior with family-centered, evidence-based therapy. I treat anxiety and obsessive compulsive symptoms in children and teens using methods that empower parents and teach kids and teens they are capable of facing their fears with courage and loving support.

SPACE Treatment for Child and Teen Anxiety
Supportive parenting for anxious childhood emotions (SPACE) is an evidence-based treatment method for child and teen anxiety and OCD. This parental empowerment method is shown to be as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for child and teen anxiety and obsessive compulsive behavior.
SPACE works by supporting parents in adjusting their approach to their child’s anxiety and OCD. SPACE does not require the child to participate in therapy. Children are helped through SPACE via parental support and targeted change in parental approach.
SPACE is a non-coercive, family-centered model that respects child development and parental values. It’s a great fit for parents whose children won’t participate in therapy and for parents who desire to be supportive while encouraging resilience and agency.
