We offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and care for children and adolescents through the age of 17. Our child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists 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.
