Welcome to the Yale Anxiety and Mood Services website. We are affiliated with the Department of Psychology at Yale University and have served clients in the greater New Haven community for over 20 years. Our mission is three-fold:

• To provide high-quality, affordable services to individuals, couples, and families in the greater New Haven area who are coping with difficulties related to anxiety, low mood, and interpersonal problems.
  
• To conduct research to help us understand how anxiety, worry, and low mood impacts individuals and how best to help individuals with these concerns. (Participation in any research is completely voluntary. If you are eligible for participation in a research study, it will be described to you in detail and your written consent will be obtained before it is initiated.)
  
• To train advanced doctoral students who are working toward their Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. All trainees are supervised by respected faculty and licensed psychologists from the community.

Deciding that you want to invest in yourself by overcoming particular feelings, attitudes, behaviors, and/or relationship patterns is the first and most difficult task. We hope this website will be helpful in your decision to pursue psychotherapy for yourself or your child.

The beginning is the most important part of the work. - Plato
