What is SPACE?
SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and is a ground breaking parent-based treatment program. An 12-week evidence based treatment program developed at the Yale Child Study Center, by Dr. Eli Lebowitz.
It is designed 100% for parents whose children struggle with anxiety, OCD and related problems
Who is SPACE for? Who is the patient?
SPACE aims to treat children and adolescents with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although children do not have to attend SPACE sessions - they are the patients!
When SPACE treatment is successful children feel less anxious and function better following treatment.
Some of the main anxiety problems treated with SPACE include:
Separation anxiety
Social anxiety
Generalized anxiety
Fears and phobias
Panic disorder and Agoraphobia
Selective mutism
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Who participates in treatment?
Parents (and other caregivers) participate in SPACE treatment sessions. In most cases the child or adolescent does not need to attend the treatment sessions.
What happens in SPACE treatment?
Parents who participate in SPACE will learn skills and tools to help their child overcome anxiety, OCD or related problems.
The treatment focuses on changes that parents can make to their own behavior, they do not need to make their child change.
The two main changes that parents learn to make in SPACE treatment are to respond more supportively to their anxious child and to reduce the accommodations they have been making to the child symptoms. We will teach you how.

What will it look like?
NO more trying to get your child into therapy when they do not want to go. Making the treatment process challenging for the entire family.
We will map out how your family functions around your child's anxiety and the accommodations in place. Then provide tools and coaching for reducing those accommodations and empowering your child to manage those rising emotions on their own.
Please check out the research and links on how impressive the outcomes are for families like yours.
An 8-week parent workshop is another more affordable way to learn the treatment
