We’re honored to have Dr. Amer Smajkic featured in the May/June 2026 issue of The Hinsdale Magazine as one of their 2026 Noteworthy Doctors. 💙

The feature highlights Dr. Smajkic’s thoughtful, family-centered approach to child and adolescent psychiatry, along with the importance of early intervention, collaboration, and supporting the whole child, not just the symptoms.

At Chicago Child Psychiatry Associates, the goal has always been to create a space where children, teens, and families feel heard, understood, and supported through every stage of care.

Thank you to Hinsdale Magazine for the recognition, and to the families and community who continue to place their trust in our team.

Hot take, but it’s something we see every day... what looks like a “behavior problem” is often something deeper.

Anxiety.
Burnout.
Emotional overload.

When kids don’t have the words, it shows up in other ways.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct, and don’t ignore it. 📞 Call 312-893-5701 or visit https://chicagchildpsychiatryassociates.com to start getting answers.

From the outside, it can look like a distraction.

But underneath? Confusion. Frustration. Maybe even anxiety.

Not every child who struggles in school is struggling the same way. Getting clear on the “why” changes everything.

Sometimes kids will tell you exactly what’s going on. Other times, they don’t have the words yet.

That’s where listening differently matters.

Your child isn’t giving you a hard time. They might be having a hard time.

And when we understand why, everything shifts, for them and for you.

You don’t have to keep guessing. 📞 Start with a conversation, 312-893-5701.

When everything feels like too much… kids don’t always say it out loud. It shows up as shutdowns, avoidance, and big reactions.

That doesn’t mean they’re not trying.
It means they’re overwhelmed.

You don’t have to guess what’s going on. Reach out and let’s figure it out together! 🤝

Spending time in the community like this matters!

Dr. Smajkic and the team had a great time connecting with other providers, organizations, and families at the Oak Park - River Forest (OPRF) Chamber of Commerce Health Fair. Events like these are a reminder that supporting kids and families is a collective effort.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up, shares resources, and continues to prioritize mental health together. 💙

If you stopped by to connect, it was great meeting you. If not, we’re always here when you need us. 📞 312-893-5701 | https://chicagchildpsychiatryassociates.com
