The Children’s and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, a group of private practice psychologists with a specialty in treatment of childhood anxiety and OCD, is proud to present a workshop for parents. The goal is to help parents to understand the nature of anxiety and to help their children cope with it and flourish.
In the first meeting, we will teach parents about the nature of anxiety in children; how it impacts thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and how parents can use strategies to help their child cope with anxiety. The second meeting focuses on how to apply these child and parent strategies to typical difficult times with children with anxiety (e.g., school mornings, stomachaches, homework, bedtime, trying new things). Also, we will address how parents can take care of themselves so they can better take care of their children.
This is a 2 part series. Each session is 90 minutes long with question and answer periods and time to interact with other parents. The first and second sessions are held 2 weeks apart so parents can practice the strategies and get feedback on outcome.
Presenter: Lynne Siqueland, PhD
Dates: Wednesday October 11th and Wednesday October 25th from 7:30 to 9pm (EST). This workshop will be offered live streaming again in fall 2023. Email if interested.
Location: online Zoom meeting
Fees: The fee for the 2 part workshop is $50 for one participant, $75 for two participants from the same family (e.g., mom/dad, mom/grandparent).
I will offer an in person version of the workshop above or another parent workshop focused on OCD: Nurturing Courage and Competence- Helping Your Child Cope with OCD if there is sufficient interest.
A parent support and idea sharing group will be offered monthly for families who have completed the parent workshop or who have familiarity with cognitive behavioral strategies for child anxiety.
Email Lynne Siqueland at siqueland@pobox.com to express interest or for additional information.
In addition to the in-person parent workshop offered a few times a year at the clinic, there is also an online version available for parents who cannot attend, there is now an online version of "Nurturing Courage and Competence: Parenting Your Child with Anxiety." This is a 2-part series. Each video is 45 minutes long and contains voice lecture and power point slides. This is a series you can download and watch on your own time.
Part 1: Understanding and addressing anxiety in kids and teens
Part 2: Tips and how to use strategies in times of difficulty for anxious children
Interested in getting started before your treatment sessions begin? We are excited to introduce you to a state of the art online evidence-based parent-training program developed by Dr. Phil Kendall and Dr. Muniya Khanna, expert researchers in CBT for anxiety in children and adolescents.

The most complicated part of finding us is identifying our Center from the street from the first time because it is a residential building of white stucco with brown shutters (see the photo above). There is a post and rail fence out front and a small wooden sign with our address 3138 Butler Pike. There is no sign saying Children’s Center from street or identifying it as a business location. After locating us the first time, it will be easy. Go slow once you turn onto Butler Pike. Park anywhere there is a free space in the large lot.
Go in the door marked Children’s Center for OCD and Anxiety and go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, go thru the right side door to this 2nd floor waiting room. Take a seat in the waiting room. Your therapist will greet you there.
