Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health

Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health Our Mission is to improve mental health and wellbeing by empowering children and families to be the best versions of themselves.

Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health is a child, adolescent, young adult, and family therapy practice in Westerville, Ohio. We offer individual, parent-only, and family therapy sessions. Our team of three clinicians at Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health is committed to facilitating positive transformation in the lives of individuals and families. Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health is dedicated to the mission of enhancing the well-being of children and families throughout Central Ohio. Our primary objective is to expand the accessibility of high-quality, evidence-informed treatment. One of the things we enjoy most about working with children is that they are continually changing and growing. Children have an amazing capacity to learn new skills and adapt to challenges they face. By capitalizing on these innate abilities, we can remove barriers in their lives and empower them to grow and develop in the best way they can. We understand the difficulty parents can face when witnessing their children deal with daily stressors and mental health concerns, perhaps feeling unsure on how to provide effective support. Together, we will work to provide your children with improved coping strategies, instill healthy habits, and guide them towards overall better health and well-being. We collaborate closely with parents to identify practical solutions to the challenges their families may encounter, aiming to empower them with confidence and self-assurance in addressing challenges.

Here are 3 questions you can ask your child to help differentiate between bullying and mean behavior.
“How many times has this or something like this happened?” This question helps identify if the behavior is a repeated, ongoing issue (indicative of bullying) or a singular occurrence (more likely mean behavior).
“Tell me how you would feel and what you would do if this person told you to do something you didn’t want to do. Do you think you could or would say no to them. If so, what would you say? If not, tell me why?” Understanding power dynamics is key to identifying bullying. It could be physical power, social status, or even psychological control.
“Have you ever noticed them treating other people this way?” Bullying often involves the targeted individual being singled out repeatedly, whereas mean behavior might not be as specific and can be directed at anyone.
If you notice that your family or child could use some support navigating today's social world and school dynamics, give us a call. We can help.

Halloween can bring big feelings for little ones. If your child needs a quieter, less spooky way to celebrate, that’s okay.
✅ It’s okay to skip the haunted house.
✅ It’s okay to leave the itchy costume at home.
✅ It’s okay to take breaks—or skip it altogether.
You know your child best. Celebrate in the way that works for your family.
If fears are interfering beyond October 31st, we’re here to help.

🌎 Happy Earth Day from your local pediatric behavioral health team 💚

This Earth Day, let’s remember that caring for the planet can also mean caring for our kids’ mental well-being.

🌱 Time spent outdoors — in parks, gardens, or even your own backyard — has been shown to: ✅ Reduce stress
✅ Improve focus
✅ Boost mood and emotional regulation
✅ Encourage mindfulness and curiosity

Whether it's a family walk at Inniswood Metro Gardens, a bike ride on the Alum Creek Trail, or digging in the dirt at home, nature is healing — especially for growing minds.

Let’s raise a generation that loves the Earth and feels grounded by it. 🌍💚
