Does This Sound Familiar?

Your child might be:

  • Stuck on worries they can’t seem to let go of

  • repeatedly asking for reassurance

  • Avoiding school or other feared objects/situations

  • Having panic attacks or intense fear responses

  • Struggling with intrusive thoughts

if you can relate to these experiences, you’re not alone. The good news? effective, research-backed treatment—like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—can provide significant relief.

BrainSpace Anxiety & OCD Therapy specializes in these conditions:

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Anxiety disorders (health-related, social, generalized, etc.)

  • Panic attacks

  • Specific phobias (emetophobia, needle phobia, etc.)

These challenges can feel overwhelming—for adults and kids (as well as parents). But with the right approach, they are highly treatable.

  • Treatment is structured, practical and focused on real-life progress—not just talking.

    Children and adults learn to:

    • Reduce avoidance and reassurance-seeking

    • Respond differently to anxious thoughts

    • Face fears gradually with support

    • Build confidence in handling uncertainty

    Approaches may include:

    • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    • Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT)

    • Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE)

  • When a child struggles with anxiety or OCD, it impacts the entire family. It’s natural to want to protect your child from distress—but some of the ways parents try to help can unintentionally keep the cycle going over time.

    With BrainSpace Anxiety & OCD Therapy, parents learn how to:

    • Respond to anxiety in ways that help—not reinforce it

    • Reduce reassurance cycles

    • Support the child through exposures

    • Build long-term resilience at home
