Exposure Therapy For Children And Adolescents

Over 7 million kids in the US suffer from serious anxiety and that figure has doubled since the pandemic. But 90% of kids treated for anxiety using exposure therapy are now experiencing a better quality of life. Could it be the answer for you and your family?  

Are you concerned that exposure therapy may be too harsh or cruel?

 

There are a lot of misconceptions out there, when in fact this therapy approach does not have to be scary or worrying at all.

 

Knowing what to expect and discussing a treatment plan with a trained and experienced exposure therapist is a great option for an anxious child.

 

Have you tried what you can to help your child and feel like you might be at your wit's end?

 

Sometimes dealing with a child or teen's fears can be exhausting for the parents too.

Most kids do not grow out of anxiety, OCD, phobias, or ongoing childhood fears on their own. Avoiding the issue, shielding them from it, or forcing them into it is also highly inadvisable and can reinforce their fears and retraumatize them.

 

But there is a way to help them, and yourself, deal with and manage these situations better so that you can all enjoy a better quality of life.

 

Proven research and cognitive methods (and exposure therapy, in particular) have shown incredibly positive results in treating more serious, ongoing child and teen troubles.

 

The family life you want can be achieved, with a clear treatment and support plan for a calm, happy kid.
