Welcome to the University of Central Florida's Anxiety Disorders Clinic!

The UCF Anxiety Disorders Clinic is a clinical research center dedicated to the study and treatment of anxiety disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. The clinic is part of the Department of Psychology at the University of Central Florida. The clinic's clinical research activities are diverse; including studies designed to elucidate the phenomenology of anxiety, developmental course, etiology, treatment development and evaluation, methodology development and evaluation, and the systematic examination of theories of maladaptive anxiety. The clinic serves as an educational and consultative resource for anxiety disorders in the Central Florida and maintains liaison with other major anxiety disorders centers nationally and internationally. Currently the clinic is engaged in collaborative efforts with researchers in Brazil, Norway and Spain.

The Anxiety Disorders Clinic combines research and clinical activities, using a scientist-practitioner model. Thus, much of our research involve patients who are being treated for an anxiety disorder and by participating in research, treatment is free of charge. Although involved in the study of biological factors in anxiety and pharmacological treatments, the clinic specializes in the behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders including social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, specific phobia, separation anxiety disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.

The Anxiety Disorders Clinic serves as a major research and clinical training site for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Furthermore, the clinic seeks to develop relationships with other programs where there are prospects for mutually rewarding collaborative efforts in training.


We are currently able to accept:

- New child patients with social anxiety, selective mutism, or generalized anxiety disorder.

- New adult patients with social phobia.

- Military service men and women who served in Iraq or Afghanistan and who are seeking treatment for combat-related PTSD.
