Helping Kids Grow, Heal, and Thrive

Our Children's Outpatient Services program provides comprehensive evaluation, counseling, and psychiatric care for children and adolescents facing mental health and behavioral challenges. We understand that children express emotional distress differently than adults—sometimes through changes in mood, sleep, school performance, or social behavior.

Our clinicians take time to understand each child's unique story and tailor treatment to their developmental stage, family environment, and goals for growth.

Comprehensive Support

Conditions We Treat

Compassionate, evidence-based treatment for a wide range of childhood mental health challenges

Anxiety & Stress Disorders

Many children experience anxiety that interferes with daily life—fear of school, separation worry, or constant 'what-if' thoughts that impact their happiness and functioning.

Treatment Options:

CBT, relaxation training, parent coaching, exposure therapy

Depression & Mood Disorders

Depression in children often shows up as irritability, withdrawal, or loss of interest rather than sadness. We help identify and treat these mood changes early.

Treatment Options:

Individual therapy, family support, medication when appropriate

ADHD

ADHD can make it difficult for children to focus, sit still, or manage impulses. We provide comprehensive assessment, behavior strategies, and medication management.

Treatment Options:

Diagnostic assessment, behavior modification, school coordination, medication monitoring

Trauma & PTSD

Exposure to trauma can affect a child's sense of safety and ability to trust others. Our trauma-informed therapists help children process difficult experiences.

Treatment Options:

TF-CBT, play therapy, EMDR, family involvement

Behavioral Challenges

Sometimes difficult behavior is a child's way of communicating distress. We help identify underlying causes and develop positive coping strategies.

Treatment Options:

Parent training, behavior plans, individual therapy, family sessions

Autism & Development

We provide support for children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental challenges, focusing on social skills, communication, and emotional regulation.

Treatment Options:

Social skills groups, family support, behavioral strategies, care coordination

Life Transitions

Moving, divorce, grief, or major life changes can be overwhelming for children. We help them adjust, express feelings safely, and build resilience.

Treatment Options:

Short-term counseling, coping strategies, family therapy
