Our Care and Treatment
Our clinicians bring experience, expertise and a team approach to diagnosing and treating your child. If a child needs to see more than one clinician, we work together to provide coordinated, comprehensive care. If your child has already been in treatment and you weren’t satisfied, we can explain how our approach is different. We offer specialized behavioral treatments that were designed and found to be effective specifically for children. Our psychiatrists are experts in how children and adolescents respond to medication and bring a collaborative approach to helping parents determine when and how medication should be part of a child’s treatment. For children with severe symptoms or families who are traveling long distances, we also offer intensive interventions to help kids experience a big change in a short period of time.
