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 UPMC, 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.
