About us

The Mental health Interventions and Novel Therapeutics (MINT) Anxiety Program is an interdisciplinary clinical research program devoted to expanding the quality, scope, and accessibility of mental health care for kids by: (a) improving the field’s understanding of mental health problems affecting children, and (b) developing and testing innovative methods to reduce systematic barriers to care and broadly deliver effective treatments. This research lab is part of the Center for Children and Families (CCF), a Preeminent Program at FIU.

Under the direction of Dr. Jonathan S. Comer, our clinical and research programs primarily address:

Our clinical programs use state-of-the science techniques, and often apply innovative technologies, to deliver research-supported mental health treatments to children and families. We offer specialty programs for children as young as 3 years old up to late adolescence. Some of our clinical programs are supported by federal agencies or foundation grants.

If you believe your child suffers from a significant anxiety problem characterized by fears and/or worry, please call us at 305-348-7836 or email us at mint@fiu.edu. We can help!
