Specialty Clinics

Group Therapy for Anxiety
 
This specialty clinic provides group-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for children aged 8-12 and their caregivers. In the first hour, children learn how to face their fears and worries, and in the second hour, caregivers learn how to support their children when they feel anxious. Weekly group therapy sessions provide children and their caregivers a place to work on their goals alongside other families with similar concerns. During the second hour, complimentary childcare and snacks are provided to children. For more information click here.

A professional referral is not required. For children’s services, the parent or legal guardian of the child must make the appointment.  Adolescents interested in services may contact the Psychological Services Center themselves, but parents or guardians must provide written consent.

There are separate fee structures for the specialty clinics and assessments.
