Guiding kids to make choices that empower them!

Aside from NLP approach, I work directly with parents using SPACE Treatment program. SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and is a parent-based coaching program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems. What sets this approach apart from NLP is that I work directly with parents, who attend the sessions instead of the children. By engaging parents as pivotal contributors to their child's well-being, we aim to foster a nurturing growth and resilience in young individuals.

 SPACE was developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center and has been tested and found to be efficacious in randomized controlled clinical trials. SPACE aims to help children and adolescents with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although children do not have to attend SPACE sessions - they are the ones experiencing the effects! When SPACE program is successful children feel less anxious and function better following the program. 

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

Parents coming in for this protocol find that their children improve greatly as the parents learn communication and behavioral techniques themselves.
