Core offering

Kurtz Psychology Consulting PC provides telehealth-based child and family psychotherapy with a clinical specialty in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and PCIT Adapted for Selective Mutism (PCIT-SM). The practice pairs clinical therapy delivery with a professional training division that certifies mental health agencies, school districts, and individual clinicians in PCIT, PCIT-SM, TCIT, and WATer implementation, and supports both lines with proprietary assessment tools (SM-BOT, SMICS-ER) and a cloud-based family tracker app.

Product overview

Kurtz Psychology Consulting PC operates as a specialized psychology practice offering evidence-based therapeutic services centered on Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and its Selective Mutism adaptation (PCIT-SM). The core clinical services include individual/family therapy, intensive camp programs (Mighty Mouth Kids Camp), professional training, and telehealth delivery. Supporting technology products include the PCIT Family Tracker cloud application for treatment monitoring, SM-BOT assessment tool, and the free Selective Mutism Learning University e-course. Professional training programs prepare therapists for PCIT and PCIT-SM certification through PCIT International. The practice was founded in 2014 by Dr. Steven Kurtz, a globally recognized expert who developed the Brave Buddies/Mighty Mouth model and pioneered PCIT-SM treatment protocols.

Direct peers

• Brightline Health: Pediatric and family behavioral health telehealth platform offering therapy, psychiatry, and coaching for anxiety, ADHD, depression, and related conditions to children and teens. Directly comparable in delivering virtual evidence-based pediatric mental health care and accepting insurance/payer contracts.
• Hazel Health: School-based pediatric mental health platform providing telehealth therapy and psychiatry directly to K-12 students via school contracts. Comparable in delivering virtual behavioral health to children and families and overlapping with Kurtz Psychology's TCIT school channel.
• Square One Psychology: Founded in 2025 by former Kurtz Psychology staff psychologist Dr. Zohra Chahal. Directly comparable as the entity now operating the Mighty Mouth Kids Camp, SM groups, and parent training programs that originated at Kurtz Psychology, serving the same selective mutism patient population with the same PCIT-SM framework.
• Cartwheel Care: Pediatric mental health provider delivering virtual therapy and psychiatry to school-aged children, with school district partnerships. Comparable in serving the same pediatric behavioral telehealth segment with similar school-channel distribution strategy.
• Little Otter Health: Pediatric mental health company providing virtual therapy, psychiatry, and parent coaching for children 0-14 with anxiety, behavioral, and developmental concerns. Directly comparable in targeting families with young children via telehealth-based evidence-based interventions.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) provider for adolescents and young adults with depression, anxiety, and behavioral health conditions. Comparable in delivering intensive remote behavioral care with evidence-based protocols, though Charlie Health's focus skews older than Kurtz Psychology's pediatric practice.

Broad incumbents

• Child Mind Institute: Large nonprofit children's mental health organization where Dr. Kurtz previously founded the Selective Mutism program. Offers pediatric psychiatry, psychology, and learning services across a broader portfolio of conditions, overlapping with Kurtz Psychology's ADHD, anxiety, and behavioral focus but at vastly greater scale.
• Talkspace: Large public telehealth therapy and psychiatry platform serving adults, adolescents, and children with insurance and direct-pay options. Comparable as a scaled virtual behavioral health provider, though Talkspace operates across a much broader demographic and condition set than Kurtz Psychology's specialized pediatric focus.
• NYU Langone Child Study Center: Academic child psychiatry center where Dr. Kurtz developed the first intensive Selective Mutism treatment programs and created Brave Buddies in 2002. Comparable as a research-anchored, broad pediatric mental health institution where PCIT-SM protocols were originally pioneered.

Others

• PCIT International: The certifying organization for Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and Dr. Kurtz's PCIT Global Trainer credentialing body. Indirectly comparable as the governing ecosystem in which Kurtz Psychology operates its sanctioned PCIT and PCIT-SM training programs.
