You’re not the only parent whose child is refusing to do the things they used to love.
You’re not the only parent whose child is refusing to do the things they used to love.
These are some of the obsessive compulsive symptoms we see the most. If you’re seeing some of these (or others) at home, we can help you understand why and address them.
Repeated or ritualized behaviors that are driven by anxiety, fear, or disgust and are taking up a lot of time in life
Overdoing things more than is needed (e.g. redoing homework) and/or asking repeatedly for reassurance
Intrusive thoughts about any number of topics (germs/contamination, scary events, moral concerns) that cause distress
Fear of not doing something “just right” and/or avoiding things they need or want to do
Brightline’s OCD Program sessions can be held in person or virtually. We provide kids up to age 18 with symptom assessment, testing, diagnoses, and treatment including:
Evidence-based interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention [ERP] and Habit Reversal Training [HRT] for obsessive compulsive disorders and related disorders like trichotillomania (hair-pulling) and excoriation (skin-picking), psychiatry, and medication management as needed
Between-session practice plans that support your child as they start using the skills they’re learning in real-life situations
Information gathering (with parent permission) from important adults in your child’s life, like teachers and other care providers, to ensure a well-rounded view of your child
A combination of agreed-upon session types (child-focused and caregiver-focused without the child) that include learning about emotions and behaviors, skill building, barrier identification, measured progress, and homework plans for continuity between sessions
“We have had the best experience with Brightline. My daughter has been able to use the techniques given by her therapist and it really has helped her. I would recommend Brightline to anyone who feels their child could benefit from therapy and learning coping mechanisms for everyday life. Our family and her teachers already see a difference in her and I am so happy. She looks forward to every session.”
It's okay if you don't know the root of the issue or are unsure what to say. We've been there — and now we're here for you.
