Anxiety, OCD and Children: Live Discussion with Dr. Lauren Stutman

Posted By:

What is the spectrum of anxiety for children and when should a parent seek help? What causes it and are we enabling our children when we mean to help? Why are children who exhibit “lazy” habits might be terribly mislabeled? And how can we help (rather than hinder) when our children have OCD?

Join us for an important discussion with Dr. Laura Stutman a child anxiety reduction expert from CARE-LA who will answer our questions and help us parent our anxious kids to better serve them.

Dr. Lauren Stutman founded CARE-LA based on her passion to help children and adolescents with anxiety.

Dr. Stutman has extensive knowledge and her own personal experience struggling with and overcoming severe childhood anxiety, perfectionism and OCD. It is her belief that any person can transform their unique struggles into their most powerful asset.

Dr. Stutman received a dual-doctorate in clinical & school psychology from the APA accredited program at Yeshiva University of Albert Einstein School of Medicine. She is particularly skilled in CBT, exposure and response prevention (ERP) while incorporating mindfulness training into the therapeutic process. Dr. Stutman also received specialized training in autism spectrum disorders and impulsive compulsive disorders from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine with leaders in the research and treatment of OCD and other anxiety disorders. Additionally, she has extensive experience working with anxiety in outpatient clinics, private practice, hospitals and school settings.

Dr. Stutman also specializes in working with children that are twice exceptional (2e) and has run groups for 2e children and spoken on the subject at the national conference of the ADAA.
