Process

After speaking by phone, we will schedule a comprehensive psychiatric diagnostic evaluation to gain a better understanding of the presenting difficulties. At the end of that session, we will discuss clinician impressions, provide treatment recommendations, provide any needed additional referrals, and make a plan for contacting any outside resources that would inform treatment.

 

 

Collaborative Care

We work closely with psychiatrists, pediatricians, schools, neuropsychologists, and other providers to ensure the patient receives comprehensive care.

 

Family Work

We make it our policy to not treat anybody in a vacuum. If we are working with a child or teenager, we make it essential that the family and/or parents are very involved in treatment. Parents/legal guardians can choose the level of outside involvement they desire, and this can be an ongoing dialogue with your child’s clinician as to what might be clinically indicated and recommended.
