How do I know if my child should see a mental health specialist?

You may want to seek help if your child is experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, mood swings, social withdrawal, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep or appetite, or a decline in academic performance.

During the initial appointment, our providers will take the time to get to know your child and understand their unique needs and concerns. We’ll ask about their medical history, emotional well-being, and any specific challenges they may be facing. This session is a safe space to discuss any worries you have as a parent and to explore how we can best support your child's overall health and happiness.
