Helping Pittsburgh Families Raise Calmer, More Confident Kids
Specialized support for children with ADHD, anxiety, Selective Mutism, and challenging behaviors .
You might be in the right place if:
Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or Selective Mutism (or you suspect they have one of those)
Bedtime, transitions, or drop off feel like a daily battle
You want real, practical parenting tools
You’ve been told your child will “grow out of it” but your gut says otherwise
A note about insurance…
Here at CBMP, we are a private pay practice. Here's why that aligns with our values:
Insurance-based practices are sometimes required to see as many families per week as possible to cover overhead. That model works for some families, but we knew we wanted something different for our kids and their loved ones. We want you to feel like your family is more than just a number, and keeping caseloads down allows us to take extra time with your family, coordinate care with your child’s school or other providers when possible, and provide us with the flexibility to offer different modalities of care (e.g. school visits, home visits, parent groups, social skills groups, etc.)
As a private pay practice, we can tailor treatment to your child specifically, and move at the pace that actually works, not the pace an insurance company approves.
Our full-pay fee is clinician dependent, but is often around $250 per session. A sliding scale is available for families who qualify. We also provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of out-of-network costs. We recommend calling your insurance to ask about your out-of-network benefits before your first session.
“I’ve always known that [my child’s] “Hard” would someday be his super power, but Dr. Vaughan’s support helped us unlock that beautiful potential so much earlier than I think we otherwise would have. He still has his moments, of course, but we work so well as a family now and feel much more equipped to help him self-regulate and navigate when those moments arise.”
Every family is different. Here’s how we can help yours:
We offer:
Small parent groups that teach effective strategies for managing ADHD, anxiety, and related challenges.
Preschool skills groups that include parent coaching so that your child gets practice with skills, but parents also get the information to help children and maximize improvement.
Individualized treatment, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)— a proven approach that strengthens your relationship while reducing challenging behaviors.
All individual family sessions are currently offered via secure telehealth, so you can learn and practice new skills right from home.

Child Behavior Management Pittsburgh is a private practice and we do not accept insurance.
However, we will happily provide you with a super bill which can be submitted for out-of-network reimbursement.
