Mindy Szelap is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and families in pediatrics. She received her Masters in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley. She spent almost two decades in Bay Area Children’s Hospitals, including Stanford Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Oakland, and UCSF. Mindy is also a lecturer in UC Berkeley Public Health Family Advocacy Program. Currently, she is a Faculty at the National Pediatric Hypnosis Training Institute, teaching mental health providers, pediatricians, and medical specialists nonpharmacological interventions for pain, anxiety, and chronic medical conditions in children and teens.
In addition to offering SPACE , Mindy specializes in the treatment of anxiety, OCD, depression, and pediatric chronic illness and pain. She utilizes evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure/response prevention, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), strategic therapy, internal family systems (IFS), and clinical hypnosis. She also works extensively with families of young children to interrupt anxious patterns before they take hold. Her background is strongly rooted in pediatrics, child and adolescent development, and behavioral therapies.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety disorders has long been the gold standard. As therapists, we are versed in implementing mental health interventions in our therapy rooms. Sometimes parents struggle to implement or support what children learn in therapy at home for any number of reasons. Some children and teens are unwilling or unable to participate in therapy. Evidence-based research has emerged from the Yale Child Study Center that proves that training parents with specific skills and strategies to reduce accommodation is as effective (and sometimes more effective) than working directly with the child. This training will discuss anxiety through a relational framework that supports parents disentangling from patterns that keep their children stuck and dependent. Participants will learn concrete interventions they can teach parents to support a child's development into more independence and less avoidance. We will also discuss how a parent's underlying anxious patterns unwittingly support a child's anxiety and OCD. We will work on helping parents align with the resilient parts of their child, encourage them to manage their own big feelings, and regulate their own experience of watching their child struggle and grow. Accommodation reduction parent training also supports and catalyzes work children and teens are doing in their own therapy.
