What is SPACE?
SPACE is an evidence-based treatment developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center. It is designed to treat anxiety, OCD, and restrictive eating disorders like ARFID in children and teens.
What makes SPACE unique:
Your child does not need to attend therapy. Instead, SPACE works directly with parents. By changing how parents respond to their child's fears, they can help their child build resilience, reduce anxiety, and regain independence

Parents and caregivers of children, adolescents, and young adults

Children and adolescents who have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
