Founding director of Parent to Child, Dr. Kathryn Snyder, and Art Therapist Lana Sommers, use SPACE’s special tools and techniques in their treatment with children. They also use its protocols when working with parents. The goal: to solve the cycle of anxious behaviors in families.

Therapists work with parents to:

• Identify the traps of accommodation.

• Create an effective and manageable plan.

• Fight their own inclinations to protect their child from experiencing strong emotions.

• Set up environmental supports as needed.
