Our psychiatrists and advance practice nurses will assess your child to determine if medication may be an appropriate part of their overall treatment for conditions including:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)
Depression and bipolar disorders
Anxiety
Trauma and stressor-related disorders
Psychotic disorders
Irritability related to autism
Initial appointments for psychiatry typically begin with an evaluation which can last from 60 to 90 minutes. If medication is prescribed, our prescribers will work with parents and children regarding expectations and follow-up appointments.
Medication is only one facet of the recommended treatment protocol for many presenting conditions. Therapy, case management, and other adjunct services are usually included for best results.
TRIPLE P LEVELS OFFERED
Our focus is on treating the whole child and improving each domain that touches their life and environment (school, family, social relationships, spirituality).
Our psychiatric team consists of a board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist (medical doctor) and three psychiatric mental health advance practice registered nurses (PMH-APRN’s), a registered nurse certified in psychiatric mental health nursing and a medical scheduler.
