SPACE Treatment
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is an exciting program developed by the Yale Child Study Center and Eli Lebowitz. Studies show that working with parents of anxious kids is just as effective as therapy with the child in reducing anxiety.
The SPACE program trains parents to respond to their child’s anxiety differently, which sends important messages about their capability to act independently and bravely. Raising a child with anxiety can be stressful, and I love partnering with parents to shift the dynamics that unwittingly keep anxiety going and growing.
