Services & Therapy For Children & Families

Through the Child and Family Specialty Clinics (CFSC) at EMU, we offer individual and family therapy for children ages 2-10. Our services are provided by master's and doctoral-level clinicians-in-training under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.

We support a range of emotional and behavioral needs through short- and longer-term treatment (typically 2-12 months), with a strong emphasis on parent involvement and guidance! Services take place on site at local preschools or community centers, in addition to our clinic at the EMU Community Behavioral Health Clinic.
