Are worries taking over your child's life? A few extra requests for reassurance, another check-in before bed, or unusual fear around an activity that used to be easy might have seemed small at first. But for kids with anxiety and OCD, worries don’t STAY small. Before you know it, you’re doing everything you can to keep your child’s anxiety in check...only to see their worries continue to grow. Even if you’ve tried therapy before, it can feel like nothing works.
The good news: therapy can help OCD and severe anxiety. I’m Katie Lear, founder of Davidson Child Anxiety Counseling, a small group practice for kids and teens ages 8–16. Using the techniques I wish had been available when I struggled with OCD as a child, we help kids break free from the worry cycle and learn lifelong skills.
Therapy can help your child live a life that isn’t controlled by worry. Anxious thoughts will still come up from time to time, but your kid will know exactly how to handle them so they don't run the show. If you’re ready to learn strategies that really work, reach out to our practice today. We'll match you with the therapist that's the best fit.
