Pediatric Mental Health Services in Westfield & Wall Township

What Do Pediatric Mental Health Professionals Do?

Our pediatric mental health specialists work with children and teens to help them navigate life’s challenges. This may include providing support during times of crisis—such as coping with a significant loss—or managing the emotions that arise from physical health concerns.

We are also experienced in treating a wide range of mental health disorders. We understand that children’s minds are still developing and that they require patience, understanding, and guidance to build lifelong coping skills.

When to Seek Help

It can be difficult to tell the difference between normal developmental changes and signs that a child may benefit from professional support. You may want to schedule an evaluation if your child:

• Shows persistent sadness, withdrawal, or extreme mood changes.
• Has frequent outbursts of anger, irritability, or crying.
• Experiences a decline in academic performance or sudden disinterest in school/activities.
  
• Has significant changes in eating or sleeping patterns.
• Shows ongoing fears or anxiety that interfere with daily life.
• Expresses hopelessness or engages in self-harm behaviors.

This list is not exhaustive. If you have concerns about your child’s emotional or psychological well-being, trust your instincts and consider having them evaluated.
