SPACE-Trained Child & Adolescent Therapist — Remote
Blackbird Health | 1099 Contractor
About This Role
Blackbird Health is looking for SPACE-trained therapists to join our growing team. If you're certified or trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) and passionate about working with anxious kids and the families who love them, this role was built for you. SPACE is a parent-based treatment developed by Dr. Eli Lebowitz of the Yale Child Study Center and shown to be efficacious in randomized controlled clinical trials. It treats children and adolescents with anxiety disorders, OCD, and related problems, by working with parents and caregivers to change their own behavior, reduce accommodation, and respond more supportively to their child's anxiety. The child doesn't always need to be in the room. The results speak for themselves. At Blackbird, we take a whole-child approach, and SPACE fits perfectly into how we think about care. You'll work with families navigating separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, OCD, selective mutism, panic disorder, phobias, and ARFID, among others.
