Parent-Based Treatment for Adolescent Anxiety

This study is testing a therapy approach for anxious teenagers where the parent — rather than the teenager alone — is the main focus of treatment sessions. The idea is that by coaching parents, they can better support their child's recovery from anxiety. **You may be eligible if...** - Your teenager has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (such as social anxiety, generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, panic disorder, or phobias) - Your teenager is not currently in any other therapy programs (you'd need to pause other treatments) - Your teenager is not on medication, OR is on a stable, unchanged dose of a stimulant or SSRI for at least 6 months - A parent is willing and able to actively participate - Your family speaks English well enough to complete assessments **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your teenager has a condition more severe than the anxiety disorder (e.g., active psychosis, severe autism, intellectual disability, bipolar disorder) - Your teenager has attempted suicide in the last 3 months or has current suicidal plans - There is active undisclosed abuse under investigation - The participating parent has untreated serious mental health conditions or substance use disorder - The participating parent lives with the teenager less than 50% of the time Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
