Michael Flancbaum

We started the Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy with one mission: to help children, adolescents, and young adults live more meaningful and productive lives. Both raising a child and being one are tall orders in today’s climate. And having a psychological condition often compounds the challenges. We envision a world where youth can succeed, both in spite of their challenges and because of them; where they will develop and implement the skills to overcome their challenges; and where they believe that they can accomplish anything to which they put their minds. Our team of doctors includes specialists in a range of areas. We provide CBT for youth with anxiety disorders, trichotillomania, Tourette syndrome, ADHD and disruptive behavior, school refusal, autism and feeding disorders (e.g., ARFID). We also have a comprehensive DBT program for adolescents struggling with trauma, depression, self-harm, and suicidality. Our team is committed to compassionate, collaborative, and personalized care. We provide straightforward feedback, a clear plan of action, and practical strategies. To do our best work, we collaborate with parents, school personnel, and medical providers, and perform school-based observations and consultation when appropriate. We look forward to helping you!
