Psychiatric Consultation & Evaluation
As a parent, it can be difficult to see your child struggling emotionally or behaviorally. Our psychiatric consultation and evaluation services are designed to help you gain a clearer understanding of your child’s mental health needs. Our experienced pediatric psychiatry team will work closely with you and your child, conducting a thorough assessment that leads to the creation of a personalized care plan.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is a non-invasive treatment option available for adolescents aged 14 and older who have not responded to traditional therapies. TMS can help address symptoms of depression and anxiety, offering hope to families seeking alternatives or complements to traditional medications. It works by using magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. It is both non-invasive and relatively safe.
Medication Management
Managing psychiatric medications for children and adolescents requires specialized expertise. Our team provides careful medication management, tracking each child’s progress and making adjustments as needed to achieve the best possible results. We maintain open communication with parents and explain the options, benefits, and possible side effects of different medication options. Our goal is to ensure that any medication used is part of a well-rounded, individualized treatment plan that aims to optimize your child’s wellness and quality of life.
Talk Therapy
Talk therapy, also known as psychological therapy, creates a safe space where children and teens can express thoughts and feelings. Our skilled therapists utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to each child’s unique needs; we strive to help them develop coping strategies and emotional resilience. We encourage parental involvement when appropriate, fostering healthy communication and mutual understanding.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, structured approach that helps children and adolescents identify and change patterns of negative thinking and behavior. Our therapists guide young clients in developing practical skills that can reduce anxiety, depression, and other challenges. CBT empowers children to understand their emotions, set realistic goals, and build confidence in their ability to manage daily stressors.
Holistic Supplementation
Did you know that mental health challenges are sometimes related to nutritional deficiencies? We offer NutraMetrix supplementation as part of a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan. These high-quality products are designed to optimize nutrient absorption, and they can be an excellent complement to other therapies.
Family Therapy
Family therapy recognizes the importance of your whole family’s well-being in supporting a child who is facing mental health challenges. Our therapists guide families in improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. We understand that each family is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs. By working together, you may be able to create a supportive environment that fosters healing and long-term familial harmony.
