Evidence-based treatments for children and adolescents

The OCD and Phobia Clinic at Griffith University provides evidence-based assessment and treatment programs for children and adolescents experiencing obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and specific phobias. Our clinic is led by Professor Lara Farrell and a team of experienced clinicians and researchers specialising in child and adolescent anxiety and related disorders.

We work collaboratively with families to support young people in building confidence, developing coping skills, and overcoming fears and challenges that may be impacting daily life. Treatment programs are grounded in current research and tailored to meet the individual needs of each child and family.

For over 10 years, we have provided assessment and therapy services to the Gold Coast,  helping hundreds of children with OCD and Phobias
