Anxiety in children is common and very treatable.

​

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges in children and adolescents. Research suggests that nearly 1 in 3 children will experience a clinically significant anxiety disorder before adulthood. The encouraging part: with the right support, children often make meaningful and lasting progress.

​

At The LEAP Clinic, our therapists specialize in childhood anxiety across all its forms including separation anxiety, school refusal, social anxiety, generalized worry, and specific phobias. ​

We serve families throughout Lower Gwynedd and surrounding communities, including Ambler, Blue Bell, Lansdale, Horsham, and the greater Montgomery County area, as well as families across Pennsylvania through telehealth.

​

Our work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is widely supported for treating childhood anxiety. At the same time, we take an integrative approach and draw from a range of therapeutic models depending on the child’s needs. ​This may include psychodynamic and relational approaches that help us better understand a child’s emotional world, patterns in relationships, and underlying experiences that may be contributing to anxiety. We tailor treatment to each child rather than relying on a single method or structured protocol.​
