Psychological Services

Patients facing treatment for chronic medical conditions face a number of concerns that can stretch beyond the physical. It is also not uncommon for the physical to impact emotional well-being and vice versa. Our psychological team addresses these needs by providing support for patients at each stage of treatment. Patients can be seen both outpatient at our Bradhurst location or inpatient at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.

Modalities used include individual, group, or family therapy utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including TF-CBT, CBT-CP, CBT-I), Motivational Interviewing, PCIT, DBT Skills, and other interventions.
