Parenting has been described as feeling like your heart gets up in the morning and walks away from you. Parents value doing their best for their children above all else. However, as a society, we don’t teach evidence-based behavioral strategies to empower parents with the skills to work through parenting challenges. The CBT & M Center proudly provides clients with a path to effective parenting.

Would you like to learn how to encourage your child to challenge their fears? The Parent Training Program is designed to empower parents with children who avoid situations that create uncertainty and have difficulty challenging anxiety. This program is designed for parents of children with anxiety and OCD. It is not designed to address oppositionality, self-harm, or violent behavior.

Through this program, parents will learn to improve relationships with their family members, become proficient in behavioral strategies for decreasing avoidant child behaviors, and learn to manage emotions that make effective parenting difficult.

You will learn:

  • Scientifically supported behavioral strategies

  • How to change avoidance behaviors

  • To stop walking on eggshells around your child

  • What to do to increase positive child behavior

  • How to mindfully manage anxiety & stress
