SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based treatment designed to help children and teens with anxiety, OCD, and related challenges — without requiring the child to participate directly in therapy. Developed at the Yale Child Study Center, SPACE empowers parents to reduce anxiety-driven behaviors by changing how they respond to them.

Dr. Jamie Schrager is trained in SPACE and provides this evidence-based treatment to parents and caregivers in New York City, both in person on the Upper West Side and via telehealth throughout New York State.
