About Our Program
The Center for Cognitive Therapy is an outpatient clinic with therapists who specialize in a type of therapy – cognitive therapy -- rather than in a specific set of disorders.
There are research areas in the Department of Psychiatry that specialize in specific disorders – for example, the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety or the Center for Studies of Addiction – where clinical studies are conducted, frequently offering free therapy. The Center for Cognitive Therapy, in contrast, is a fee-for-service clinic, treating a wide range of disorders and not directly conducting research at this time. When appropriate, we apprise our patients of opportunities to take part in research, as some studies will pay a small fee to those who take part.
Disorders We Treat
Many of the center’s clients are diagnosed with mood disorders, such as:
Others diagnoses include:
Many clients carry more than one diagnosis. Others do not have a diagnosed mental disorder, but want to address problems in their relationships, with their jobs, or with school.
The Center for Cognitive Therapy does not conduct couples, family, adolescent or child therapy at this time. In some cases, after the intake session, a prospective client may be referred to a different facility, if it is believed that his or her needs can best be addressed elsewhere.
