PCOM's Center for Brief Therapy

The Center for Brief Therapy at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) is a comprehensive outpatient clinic serving the greater Philadelphia area.  We provide a wide range of clinical assessment, treatment, and consultation services for children, adolescents and adults.

The Center specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy, a short-term treatment model with an impressive history of research support.   This model has been shown to result in significant improvements in the quality of life of individuals with a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems as well as difficulties related to medical problems.

Our center is staffed with advanced graduate students in Clinical and School Psychology, interns and post-doctoral fellows.  Licensed psychologists in the PCOM Psychology Department individually supervise each therapist.

Instead of accepting insurance plans, the Center offers quality services at reasonable self-pay rates while not limiting the number of sessions.

The Center for Brief Therapy also serves as a pre-doctoral internship site for training future psychologists through participation in the Association of Psychology Post-doctoral and Pre-doctoral Internship Centers (APPIC).
