Youth Treatment and Evaluation of Anxiety and Mood (Y-TEAM) Program

We are a specialty research clinic dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents suffering from anxiety, mood, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. The Youth Treatment and Evaluation of Anxiety and Mood (Y-TEAM) Program is part of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. We provide comprehensive evaluations, treatment with evidence-based therapy and medications, and a day treatment program with academic services for youth requiring intensive care. All assessment and treatment services at Y-TEAM are free of charge.

We focus on the following conditions in children, adolescents, and young adults:

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or worry
  • Social anxiety
  • Separation anxiety
  • Depression
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 

There may also be opportunities for comprehensive evaluation and treatment for adolescents and young adults with eating disorders through our colleagues in the Eating Disorders Program. For more information about The Eating Disorders Program’s research, evaluation, and clinical services, see the program's website or contact edru@nyspi.columbia.edu or (646) 774-8066.
