Parents are encouraged tor contact us at 410-578-5083 for further information and to have their child scheduled.

While it is essential during this time that we practice social distancing and keep our children out of school, we know that a side effect of this period of isolation can be increased stress, anxiety, depression and other behavioral concerns. During this challenging time, our team of expert psychologists are available to provide telepsychology services to children and adolescents who are in need of psychotherapy services.

If you are interested in initiating this service, or learning more about whether telepsychology is right for your family, please email us at Telepsych@mwph.org.

Today was the big day! Team MWPH was well represented by members of the psychology department (not pictured: Dr. Jillian Murphy and Abel!) We had a great morning and have almost met our fundraising goal. We still have until 10/31 to fundraise, if you’d like to help us support Pathfinders for Autism (link is below) as they do so much for the kids and families with whom we work. Thanks to all of our team members and those who have donated!
