At Embrace Psychiatric Wellness Center, we understand how difficult it can be to watch your child struggle with emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. Serving families in Westfield and Wall Township, our pediatric mental health team is dedicated to helping young patients build resilience, confidence, and the skills they need to thrive.
We welcome children and teens of all ages, offering a range of evidence-based and holistic treatments tailored to each child’s unique needs. After a thorough evaluation, we will recommend an approach—or combination of approaches—that best supports your child’s well-being.
Comprehensive Pediatric Mental Health Services
- Psychiatric Consultation & Evaluation: Our first step is always understanding your child’s needs. Through a detailed psychiatric evaluation, we work closely with both you and your child to identify challenges, clarify diagnoses, and create a personalized care plan.
- TMS Therapy (Ages 14+): For adolescents who have not found relief through traditional therapies, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a safe, non-invasive option for treating depression and anxiety. Using gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain, TMS can be a hopeful alternative or complement to medication.
- Medication Management: When medication is part of a treatment plan, our pediatric psychiatry team provides careful monitoring, ongoing adjustments, and open communication with parents. We ensure every decision is informed, transparent, and focused on your child’s overall wellness.
- Talk Therapy: Also known as psychological therapy, talk therapy gives children and teens a safe space to share their thoughts and feelings. Our therapists use age-appropriate, evidence-based techniques to help young clients develop coping strategies and emotional resilience—often involving parents to strengthen family communication.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps children identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. It’s especially effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management, empowering kids to take an active role in their emotional health.
- Holistic Supplementation: Because mental health can be influenced by nutrition, we offer NutraMetrix supplementation to address potential deficiencies. This can be an excellent complement to other therapies, supporting both mind and body.
- Family Therapy: We know that a child’s healing is often a family journey. Family therapy sessions focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and building a supportive home environment.
When to Seek Support for Your Child
It’s not always easy to tell when a child’s struggles go beyond normal developmental changes. Consider scheduling an evaluation if your child:
- Shows persistent sadness, withdrawal, or extreme mood changes
- Has frequent outbursts of anger or irritability
- Experiences a drop in school performance or loss of interest in activities
- Has significant changes in eating or sleeping habits
- Shows ongoing fears or anxiety that interfere with daily life
- Expresses hopelessness or engages in self-harm behaviors
Trust your instincts—early intervention can make a lasting difference.
