About McLean Cambridge Outpatient
Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, McLean’s Cambridge outpatient clinic provides mental health care for children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, and executive dysfunction. The clinic is situated on the first floor of the Sancta Maria Nursing Facility, includes on-site parking, and is reachable by public transportation, which helps local families visit more easily.
McLean’s Cambridge Outpatient Clinic follows a team-based, evidence-informed model of care. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure therapy. Services typically consist of individual and group psychotherapy, medication management when appropriate, and customized care plans created with collaboration from families and other involved providers.
A key offering is the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program (MAMP), an intensive outpatient option designed to speed up CBT and exposure-based interventions for young people with anxiety and OCD. The program also includes weekly family sessions, psychoeducation, and skills-based groups, supporting meaningful progress while allowing participants to remain connected to home and school.
