Our awesome team social worker and psychologist always available for your visit to the Stanford clinic❤️

Mental health is an essential part of craniofacial care for both patients and their families. That’s why all ACPA Approved Teams include access to a psychologist and social worker who can support emotional well-being and assess for any behavioral or cognitive concerns.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or provider, your experiences matter. Let’s continue to support one another and remind our community: You are not alone.
