About
Our Director, Dr. Ryan J. Madigan, founded BCSC in 2013 to provide better treatment outcomes for youth and families compared to “plain old therapy.” Dr. Madigan was also driven by a desire to expand access to cutting-edge treatment, training and research. Since that day, “treatment, training and research” has become the unofficial motto of BCSC.
