Our Services
Child and Family Counseling Center
Description of Services
The Child and Family Counseling Center (CFCC) provides empirically based behavioral health therapies to children/adolescents and their families.
We work closely with community pediatricians, medical specialties, schools and families to provide family-centered behavioral treatments, teaching children and families skills to minimize distress and maximize wellness.
As part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, we collaborate with specialists from Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC) to assist our patients with medication issues and complex diagnoses as needed.
Clinical Specialties
CFCC staff members have experience providing cognitive-behavioral individual or family-focused therapies for:
- Anxiety, fears and worries
- Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder
- Chronic illness and behavioral medicine
- Defiance and acting-out behaviors
- Depression or problems with mood disorders
- Loss and grief
- Obsessive-compulsive behaviors
When behavioral therapies do not reduce symptoms, we work closely with psychiatrists from WPIC to determine whether medications or other therapies might be helpful.
