Why Families Choose BCSC
At Boston Child Study Center, we provide comprehensive, evidence-based outpatient mental health care for children, teens, young adults, and families in an affirming and inclusive environment. We are committed to supporting individuals and families of all identities, including LGBTQ+ and gender expansive communities, neurodivergent individuals, and people from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.
Our multidisciplinary team specializes in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, trauma, suicide, self-harm, mood disorders, disordered eating, substance use, learning differences, and other complex emotional and behavioral challenges.
Emotion-Focused Treatment
Emotions are neurological signals providing information about our core needs, not symptoms to eliminate. Our treatments teach individuals how to trust their brains, listen to their emotions, and live fuller lives.
Individualized, Specialized Treatment
Our clinicians are extensively trained in multiple evidence-based treatments, allowing for flexible and adaptive interventions that can treat the whole person by addressing a wide array of symptoms and complexities.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Treatment at BCSC is collaborative and involves coordinated care across all areas of an individual’s life. Our clinicians create change in the individual, family, social and academic environments to ensure change is pervasive and sustained.
Measurement-Based Care
We utilize real-time data about your symptoms and progress to inform every session. Ongoing progress monitoring is a key pillar of treatment at BCSC to track outcomes, address obstacles, and ensure treatment is effective.
Accessibility & Affordability
High-quality mental health care should be accessible to everyone. We strive to ensure effective, evidence-based care is within reach through flexible treatment options and sliding scale fees starting at $2 per session.
