Description:

Our San Francisco Bay Area clinical care centers offer neuropsychological testing and treatments for anxiety and OCD, ADHD, depression and mood disorders, autism, and learning and development disorders.

Available treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), behavioral therapy, parent management training (PMT), and parent—child interaction therapy (PCIT). Our team of psychiatrists may also offer medication treatment, alone or in combination with therapy when it’s appropriate.

In addition to individual/parent/family sessions, we offer specialized group programs for children in California:

Emotion Detectives Group | Ages 8 – 12
A supportive and fun group environment to teach children emotional awareness and practical strategies for coping with uncomfortable emotions in a variety of situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) | Ages 9 – 25
Group-based therapy for those who struggle with mood swings, depression and anxiety, and self-injurious or suicidal behavior. Skills groups are offered for preadolescents (9 – 12), adolescents (13 – 18) and young adults (18 – 25).
