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. At CAMAT, we take a scientific approach to treatment, as we conduct research projects related to the treatment of emotional and behavioral concerns in youth. 

Situated on the Coral Gables campus of the prestigious University of Miami, our spacious clinic is centrally located and accessible. 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. 

At CAMAT, we offer multiple treatment options and multiple payment options for all Florida families. Please see below for additional information.
