We offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and care for children and adolescents through the age of 17. Our child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists and fellows provide individualized treatments to meet the needs of each of our patients. To optimize care, we work with the child and family and pay special attention to education, nutrition, lifestyle and cultural factors to provide a comprehensive approach to mind-body-spirit health and wellness.
During the first session, it is important that caregivers be present. For two-parent families, both parents are highly encouraged to attend. For single-parent families, another key caregiver is invited to attend (if applicable). After the first appointment, we may request to contact your child’s school and therapist.

We also offer Adolescent Behavioral Health services and treat anxiety disorders typical in children and adolescents. If your child has developed new onset psychiatric symptoms after an infection, the CPAE clinic is a stellar resource. Twenty-four hour emergency and crisis services are available through the Crisis Response Center, (520) 301-2400, located within walking distance of our clinic.
We also work with doctors who are a part of the Postinfectious Autoimmune Encephalopathy Center. PAE is a condition where an infection triggers an autoimmune reaction that targets the brain, leading to changes in neurologic function, mood and behavior.
