Pediatric Mental Health
Recognizing the symptoms and seeking early and effective help can be difficult for children. We treat patients 6 years and older in an outpatient, medical setting. We specialize in treating complex mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. We believe mental health treatment should be fully integrated with physical health treatment. Our team works closely with your current doctor to fully support a child’s emotional, behavioral and developmental needs. We provide for the well-being of the child and whole family.
Interested in therapy for your child?
Our Mental Health Team provides therapy services to children who are established patients of Priority Care Pediatrics. We typically provide therapy services to children who are 6-18 years old. A referral for therapy services must be made by your pediatrician. Once a referral is made, our Mental Health Team will determine if the patient will be best served by our team or else community resources will be provided. We do not accept external referrals.
