Welcome To SPACE
SPACE Therapy for Children with Anxiety & OCD  - Helping Parents Help Their Children

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is an evidence-based treatment that helps parents support children and teens struggling with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Rather than focusing on changing the child, SPACE empowers parents with practical strategies that reduce anxiety-driven family patterns while strengthening confidence, resilience, and independence.

What Is SPACE?
SPACE is a parent-based treatment developed to help families respond effectively to childhood anxiety and OCD. Parents learn how to provide empathy and support while gradually reducing behaviors that unintentionally maintain anxiety, such as excessive reassurance or participation in rituals.
SPACE can be effective even when a child is unwilling or unable to participate directly in therapy.

 

What to Expect
During SPACE treatment, parents work with a trained therapist to:

  • Understand how anxiety affects the family.

  • Learn supportive communication techniques.

  • Gradually reduce accommodations that reinforce anxiety or OCD.

  • Create individualized plans for challenging situations.

  • Build confidence in helping their child manage difficult emotions.


Why Choose SPACE?

  • Evidence-based approach

  • Parent-focused treatment

  • Effective for anxiety and OCD

  • Practical strategies for everyday life

  • Compassionate, supportive, and collaborative


Every family is unique. If your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, SPACE can provide parents with effective tools to create lasting change at home.
