Supportive Parenting of Anxious childhood emotions (SPACE)
Childhood anxiety impacts the whole family
SPACE parenting group is a 12-week group treating child anxiety & OCD.
SPACE is an evidenced-based short-term mental health intervention to reduce child anxiety and OCD symptoms. Parents will learn about childhood anxiety, understand their child’s symptoms, and come up with a plan to decrease “family accommodation” and provide increased support to their child. While parents are not to blame for their child’s anxiety, they can be part of the solution to assist and treat their child. Parents will complete an assessment with a trained SPACE therapist, and based on their child’s symptoms will be placement into one of our SPACE programs. Please call 312-600-5291 or email Jessica@jmmcounseling.com to register or ask a question. You can also visit www.spacetreatment.net for more information about the intervention.
who is the client?
The child (who meets criteria for a clinical diagnosis of anxiety) is the client but is not actively part of the therapeutic treatment. The therapist will meet with caregivers/parents to increase support to their child, while reducing what is called "family accommodation". Accommodation is a psychological term for what happens in most families where anxiety is present, parents are shifting or changing their behaviors to lessen their child's anxiety.

The program will meet for 12- weeks, the treatment will be group based with a few individually scheduled sessions to ensure a treatment that is uniquely tailed to your child.
