Dr. Camilo Ortiz is a clinical psychologist whose focus on parenting, child behavior, and anxiety led him to develop the first “Independence Therapy” treatment for child and adolescent anxiety. In this webinar, he talks about the importance of childhood independence and shares ways parents can promote independence and help their children develop agency, confidence, and resilience.
Adolescent mental health is rapidly declining as more kids struggle with anxiety and depression. At the same time, today’s kids have fewer opportunities to practice independence through free play. Dr. Ortiz offers practical, evidence-based strategies to empower families to “let go and let grow.”
