SPACE and SPACE-ARFID

Kelly has completed training for both SPACE (Supportive Parenting of Anxiety Childhood Emotion) as well as SPACE for ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). You can find verification of her SPACE training here: https://www.spacetreatment.net/space-providers

SPACE is an evidence-based parent-level intervention for treating the following in children and teens:

  • Separation Anxiety

  • Social Anxiety

  • Generalized Anxiety (GAD)

  • Fears and Phobias (such as bug phobias, a fear of vomitting, or phobias related to needles)

  • Panic Disorder

  • Agoraphobia

  • Selective Mutism

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Picky Eating (ARFID)

SPACE works by helping parents focuses on changes they can make to their own behaviors (primarily: increasing the supportiveness of their responses to the child/teen’s anxiety, and reducing accommodations for the anxiety). You can learn more about SPACE here: www.spacetreatment.net
