Mindy's SPACE program was extremely helpful to my family!  Mindy (and SPACE) gave us a roadmap to follow and specific tools to employ in response to the ways in which anxiety was showing up in our kids and our family dynamic - and it worked!   Mindy is also a great teacher and support to the parents/caregivers in the program. She does a great job of explaining what anxiety is, how it shows up, and how to respond in a way that will actually make a difference for your family.  Mindy also has a wonderful sense of humor which is a balm to the stress and exhaustion that so many of us are experiencing. I highly recommend Mindy's SPACE program. It truly made a difference for the well being of my family. 

SPACE class changed our lives in such a positive way. We were able to significantly bring down the stress level in our household by learning to deal with our child's constant anxiety and unbridled rage. Over time our child's behavior changed as a result of our responses to her, and now we rarely have to deal with this issue. When it does come up, we use the strategies we learned. Mindy is an excellent teacher, therapist, and resource for anxiety, OCD, ADHD and more. She has helped our daughter and our family so much.

After struggling for several years with an anxious child, whose anxiety has dictated much of our lives, we attended Mindy's SPACE workshop and for the first time, felt that there was hope for helping our child. Through shared experiences and very practical lessons, we came out of just seven weeks with strong, practical ways we support our child to reduce their anxiety and improve all of our lives. We are continuing to work with Mindy and use her practices because they really work. I highly recommend the SPACE course, and work with Mindy in general.  

Mindy Szelap is an expert in encopresis and really helped our kid and us.  You can reach her at  mindy.szelap.lcsw [at] gmail.com.

Your daughter sounds just like my son (10yo)! We put even a lock on our pantry just for that same reason. There are holes in the walls at our house because he hit them with his toys with so much rage. He lies about being on zoom school all the while playing online games. I can go on and on. Anyway, we are seeing Mindy Szelap on zoom. She talks mainly to us parents, giving us tips and parenting skills to deal with him. It is more like family therapy actually. We really like Mindy. She has lots of experience with ADHD kids. Mindy Szelap (510) 394-5670
