Taking a Scientific Approach to Treatment

The CAMAT Program is a specialty research clinic at the University of Miami dedicated to providing in-depth, psychological evaluations and intervention services (therapy) for children and adolescents with emotional disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder) and tics and Tourette's disorders.

Additionally, when in-person services are not available (e.g., COVID-19), CAMAT offers families in the State of Florida the ability to communicate via the videoconferencing platform, Zoom videoconferencing platform.

Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C and UP-A)

CAMAT offers therapy via the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C and UP-A), which includes elements of both traditional cognitive behavior therapy and newer behavior therapy elements, such as mindfulness skills. The UP-C and UP-A are short-term treatment approaches that provide skills and experiences to youth and their parents that may help to reduce unwanted fear, anxiety, OCD and depression symptoms. The UP-C and UP-A involve weekly therapy sessions and are offered as either individual or group treatments.
