Treatment for Children
and Adolescents

Assessment

Treatment begins with a comprehensive 80-minute evaluation, consisting of a structured diagnostic interview, time to speak with the child/adolescent and their parents/family members, and time to begin the treatment planning process with the child/adolescent together with their family members. A patient care manager from Center for Anxiety will contact each new patient within a 10 days of the completed evaluation to provide the patient with a treatment plan and the opportunity to schedule their first therapy session.

Standard Treatment

Intensive Treatment

We are one of few practices that can provide intensive outpatient services to children and adolescents. We offer a unique Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) providing quick results and focused, personalized treatment for child and teenage patients. Our IOP can be conducted in-person at any of our private offices or virtually as needed. Our IOP is ideal for patients with complex or severe anxiety (e.g., GAD, panic disorder, social anxiety), OCD, depression, school refusal, emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and also for out-of-town patients who come to us from across the United States, Canada, and around the world. To read more about our IOP, click here (link to IOP page). Please note that children and adolescents are able to participate in the individual IOP track, not the group IOP track.

One-Day Treatment

Family Sessions

Family sessions focus on educating and coaching parents to react more effectively to children’s problem behaviors, and to ultimately reduce the frequency of these problem behaviors. Parenting sessions work by helping parents to both improve the quality of parent-child relationships, and to implement consistent reward and discipline systems. These sessions may be used on their own or in conjunction with other treatments, such as individual therapy for your child. Parenting sessions can involve one or more meetings, depending on the individual needs of the family, and can be conducted in-person or via telephone/teleconference. Scheduling is flexible to accommodate family needs.
