Parent Coaching Services

Empowering parents with clear guidance and expert support.

At OCDMN, our parent coaching services are designed to help you confidently support a child struggling with OCD or anxiety. We focus on practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce accommodation, strengthen resilience, and create healthier family patterns—without blame or judgment.

Whether you're navigating rituals, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, bedtime battles, school refusal, or overwhelming worry, we work with you to understand what’s actually driving your child’s anxiety and how to respond in ways that foster long-term growth.

With compassionate, tailored guidance, our goal is to equip you with the tools, clarity, and confidence to help your child thrive while building a calmer, more connected home environment.

SPACE: Supporting Parents for Anxious Childhood Emotions

At OCDMN, we integrate SPACE (Supporting Parents for Anxious Childhood Emotions) as part of our evidence-based coaching approach.

How SPACE Works: Parents learn to recognize and reduce accommodating behaviors in order to foster their child’s emotional resilience and independence.

Why It’s Effective: Research shows that SPACE can significantly improve outcomes for children with anxiety and OCD without requiring direct child participation.
