The Anxiety "Coping Cat" Group

What is "Coping Cat"?

The Anxiety "Coping Cat" Group Program is an evidence- based, cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) specifically designed for children and adolescents with mild to moderate levels of anxiety. Treatment includes education, coping skills training, and gradual exposure to anxiety inducing scenarios, as well as homework assignments. During treatment, children and adolescents learn to recognize and analyze anxious feelings and develop strategies to cope with anxiety-provoking situations. 

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THE ANXIETY "COPING CAT" GROUP?

The Anxiety "Coping Cat" Group is tailored for children ages 7-10. This program is specifically designed for children and adolescents dealing with anxiety who may have a diagnosis of: Generalized anxiety disorder, Social phobia, or Separation anxiety disorder.


This group is designed for children with at-risk, mild, or moderate anxiety only. For children with more severe anxiety conditions, please contact us regarding individual treatment options. 


The group utilizes the Brief Coping Cat 8-session program by Philip Kendall, PhD, ABPP.
