We Speak Kid. Understanding your child is the first step toward treating their mental health and learning disorders.
Our team of psychologists, neuropsychologists, and social workers are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, behavioral, and developmental issues and are here to help in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Mental health and learning disorders are real, common and treatable. At the Child Mind Institute, we support you every step of the way so that you’re not alone in seeking help.
What makes the Child Mind Institute different? Our unique model delivers gold-standard evaluations and treatment as part of a time-tested philosophy of care:
Our San Francisco Bay Area clinical care center offers neuropsychological testing and treatments for ADHD, anxiety and OCD, depression and mood disorders, autism, and learning and development disorders.
Available treatments also include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), behavioral therapy, parent management training (PMT), parent—child interaction therapy (PICT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Our team of psychiatrists may also offer medication treatment, alone or in combination with therapy when it’s appropriate.
We don’t look at therapy as an unending process. We set goals with the child and the family, track progress, and adjust course as needed — all with an eye to getting each child back to their best life as soon as possible.
To be a part of the Child Mind Institute’s clinical team, you have to be one of the best and care deeply about kids. It takes skill, experience and compassion to maximize impact.
Diagnosis drives treatment. You can’t solve a problem you don’t understand. So, we perform exceptionally careful evaluations and our clinicians have the experience to make the right diagnosis. That’s why the Child Mind Institute is known nationally for second opinions and treating difficult cases.
Many of the kids we see have challenges across multiple areas. We provide all the care your child needs under one roof. Our multidisciplinary group of experts reviews each case holistically and works together to provide coordinated care so each child can thrive.
At the Child Mind Institute, your child will never get lost in the crowd. Unlike large medical centers, we’re exclusively focused on children’s mental health, learning, and development. Our team develops and continually optimizes personalized treatment plans for every child.
Our model of care requires a dedicated staff to make it work, and we need to charge for their services. We do not accept insurance, but will provide the documentation required for out-of-network reimbursement if offered through your plan. We do offer financial aid, which may reduce your costs based on demonstrated need. We do not run our clinical care for profit. Any excess revenue goes to support financial aid.
