Treatment Components

Individual cognitive-behavioral therapy: Patients meet with their individual therapist 2-3 times weekly. These appointments are scheduled during the school day (9:30am-3pm).

Group cognitive-behavioral therapy: Groups teach and review anxiety management skills and guide group members in addressing their concerns and fears.

Medication Management: Weekly consultation with our child and adolescent psychiatrist to review current medication and adjust as needed.

Parent/Family Support: Regular consultation with a patient's parent/family members to provide support and guide parenting issues and other family concerns.

Academic Support: Individual consultation with our staff teacher to address academic concerns and opportunities to collaborate with a patient's school to optimize support.

Group members must participate in individual treatment (at least twice weekly) and medication management at CUCARD Westchester unless a separate arrangement is approved by our staff.
