If I could do it all over again, I’d do this…

Says every parent whose kid has OCD rituals they just don’t understand; isolates in their room; has a ton of stomach aches, headaches, and...you get the idea.

American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Children and adolescents often feel shame and embarrassment about their OCD.

Teenager with OCD. Therapy for kids with OCD.

OCD affects 1 in 200 kids.

The intrusive thoughts sound like:

Worrying that they might throw up.
Scared that they are going use a knife to hurt themselves.
They will disobey God and go to hell.
Germs will make them sick.
If they don’t do something perfectly, someone will die.

Seeing these fears in your kid can also make you feel helpless.

I get it.

OCD is a monster that is always looking for more. The more you feed it, the bigger it grows.

You want to help your child and you feel like you have tried everything.

You tell your kid that they can get through this, but they get angry with you. You assure your child that their thoughts are not real, but they keep constantly asking for reassurance. You notice that your kid is talking to their friends less and less and is growing more and more scared by the day.

What to expect:
when bringing your kid to therapy

When bringing your kid to therapy, I understand how that can feel like a leap of faith. I get it. As the caring parent that you are, I encourage you to be actively involved in their treatment every step of the way.

From the very first appointment, I meet with you to discuss your child's symptoms, treatment goals, and strategies for support at home.

Ongoing communication is important, which is why we utilize platforms like Spruce Health to stay connected between appointments. This allows you to share any concerns, observations, & progress your child may have experienced.

Additionally, during every session, we dedicate at least 10 minutes to check in with you. You can provide updates on their progress, any challenges, and receive guidance on how to best support your kid outside of therapy sessions.

With OCD treatment, your kid can:

have less intrusive thoughts
use knives again
sit down at the family dinner table without stress
no longer worry about vomiting
hang out with their friends like they used to
can talk about a wide variety of things without avoiding
stop asking you for reassurance
will sleep by themselves, at ease, and in their own room!

What to expect:
when you’re the kid.

I understand the importance of building your trust.

While communication with parents is essential for effective treatment, I balance involving your parents in discussions as well as honoring your individuality.
