Psychiatry & Medication Management

Our team specializes in working with children and adolescents to address a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and more. Our Psychiatry team assesses the need for medication and the child or adolescent's progress while on medication.

Many psychiatric disorders will require a multi-disciplinary approach for successful treatment: Medication combined with therapy or counseling. Medication can be an effective part of the treatment plan of many mental illnesses such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Panic
  • Sleep Problems
  • ADHD

Our psychiatric team is committed to providing the highest quality of care for your family.
