Pediatric CBT Specialty Program:
Our Pediatric CBT Specialty Program focuses on training clinicians to work with children and families using evidence-based treatments such as CBT, ACT, and ERP. With a shortage of pediatric clinicians in our community who specialize in treating anxiety and OCD, we have made it our mission to educate and support clinicians in providing this vital care.
The program addresses a range of anxiety-related conditions, including generalized anxiety, specific anxieties, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), motor tics, phobias (including needle phobia), and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS).
This intensive 15- to 24-month training program provides clinicians with close supervision and mentorship from our seasoned clinical team. We are proud to offer lower-fee and sliding-scale sessions so that no child goes without the support and treatment they need.
