This is Why NO Therapy is Better Than BAD Therapy for Kids with OCD


Not all therapy is created equal—especially when it comes to OCD treatment for children.

In this video, I explain why bad therapy can actually make OCD worse—and why no therapy at all might be safer than working with a therapist who doesn’t understand OCD.

You’ll learn:

  • Why OCD requires a completely different therapy approach (ERP)
  • What an anxiety therapist might mistakenly do
  • Real-life examples of the wrong OCD therapy approach in action
  • How well-meaning therapists can unintentionally grow a child’s OCD
  • Why parents helping kids with OCD must learn to spot red flags early

When it comes to OCD, the right treatment matters.

Does your teen struggle with self-confidence?

I’m teaming up with Sharon West, a teen confidence coach from Walk Forward Coaching for a FREE workshop where you will learn:

  • Why anxious kids have confidence issues
  • Subtle signs of low self-confidence we often miss
  • How we can inadvertently make our child’s self-confidence worse
  • Concrete steps to help improve our child’s self-confidence

If you ever thought “I wish I knew how to help my teen feel more confident” this workshop is for you!

Therapy for a Child with OCD Isn’t Enough: Why Your Role is Crucial

Child OCD Therapy is important—but it’s not the whole answer.

In this episode, Natasha explains why therapy alone isn’t enough to help a child with OCD truly thrive.

You’ll learn how your daily responses can either empower your child’s progress—or unintentionally grow their OCD.

OCD and ADHD: What parents need to know

Does your child struggle with both OCD and ADHD? Research shows that these conditions often overlap, creating unique challenges in focus, behavior, and emotional regulation. Fortunately, both OCD and ADHD are highly treatable when you know what you're dealing with and how to find the right care.
