“Welcome to The Child & Family Institute, the leader in compassionate, data-driven care. I know firsthand how hard it can be to navigate the mental health field both personally, and as a parent. I was that sensitive kid who struggled with anxiety, ADHD, and trauma, and I benefitted tremendously from the gift of therapy as a young adult, and now as a dad to two young boys. It is deeply rewarding to be able to spend my life sharing my knowledge and insights with all of you, helping families heal. CFI is a Harvard-trained integrative practice with a full range of psychological, neuropsychological, and behavioral health services for youth emotional, behavior, learning, habit, and attention disorders, including niche programming for sports and performance psychology, health psychology, anxiety and OCD, parent support, adoption, attachment, and complex trauma, and much more. We are innovators, clinicians, teachers, and philanthropists, developing cutting edge treatments to best support parents and kids with anxiety and behavior challenges, as well as systems-level solutions to the youth mental health crisis. My team and I are here to guide you and personally connect your family with the best possible care. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or if we can be a resource for your family at any time. Thank you for placing your trust in us, and we look forward to helping your family at CFI.”

        – CFI Founder, Dr. Adam S. Weissman

In a culture of mental health stigma and growing divide between research and practice, CFI is reimagining mental health through lifestyle wellness, industry leadership/innovation, and the highest standard of compassionate, data-driven care. We view each child and parent as comprising a unique set of strengths, challenges, passions, and pursuits, with a focus on enhancing meaningful connection and values-aligned living, while alleviating symptoms of distress, rather than just “treating diagnoses.” Our state-of-the-art clinical therapies embrace you and your child’s unique journey and authentic self, rekindling your passion, joy, and purpose through empathic, evidence-based care.
