Calling all child therapists...

http://www.childtherapisthub.com/

You’ve got the training. You understand exposure-based treatment.
But sometimes, you still find yourself scrambling before a session wondering,
“How can I make this fun today?" or "Am I on the right track here?"

That’s why I created the Child Therapist Hub—
a growing library of creative, practical tools for working with kids and teens with anxiety and OCD.

Inside the Hub, you’ll find:
✅ An organized platform of resources that are easy to find right before a session
✅ Materials based in exposure-based CBT so you know you can trust you are following the evidence
✅ Session-ready visuals, worksheets, and videos
✅ Exposure library coming soon!
✅Monthly support!
✅ New content added regularly

No more reinventing the wheel or scrambling to find that one idea you saw six months ago.
Just clear, engaging materials that help you do your best work—without burning out.

Join the Hub and turn your knowledge into confidence. http://www.childtherapisthub.com/

Are you a parent who can’t get your kid to leave the house very often?
Maybe it’s always a battle, or they’ll only agree to go if you promise to stay the whole time instead of just dropping them off.

You’re not alone.

Agoraphobia is a fear of being in situations where escape might feel hard or help might not be available.
That’s why kids often insist on predictable plans, familiar people, and constant support.

It’s not just about being shy or stubborn. It’s anxiety—and there is help.

Emetophobia is a fear of vomit- but it's not as straight forward as you might think. Kids with this fear may fear a lot of different things:

-Themselves vomiting
-Others vomiting
-Being grossed out
-Getting sick
-Getting others sick
-Being humiliated
-The sensations associated with vomiting

There are lots of behaviors that come into play when kids have this fear, and it can cause a lot of problems with being able to live the life your family and child want.

Meet Angela — founder of The Anxiety and OCD Clinic and a mom who deeply understands the emotional toll of watching your child struggle.

Angela is a seasoned therapist with advanced training in anxiety and OCD treatment for children, teens, and parents. She’s also a certified SPACE provider, guiding caregivers through a proven approach to reduce accommodations and foster true resilience in their kids.

What makes Angela’s work so powerful is how she blends expert clinical skills with real-life parent perspective. She gets how hard it is to watch your child panic at school drop-off, ask for reassurance 100 times a day, or refuse to do things they used to love. And she knows the courage it takes as a parent to respond differently — even when it's hard.

Angela works with both kids and parents to break the cycle of anxiety using exposure-based CBT, SPACE, and a whole lot of compassion. Her goal? To help your family feel less stuck, more confident, and finally on a path toward lasting change.
