Behavioral Health is Health

About Us:

Child and Adolescent Outpatient Services meets the needs of families from diverse backgrounds who may benefit from outpatient assessment and treatment. We diagnose and treat children, adolescents, and families with a variety of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, attention deficits, emotional regulation difficulties, mood disorders, and other behavioral concerns. Families work with a primary therapist who is responsible for coordinating all aspects of care. This therapist is a member of a team that includes specialists in psychiatry, psychology, social work, counseling, and nursing. In addition, services are offered to infants, children, adolescents, and their families who may be experiencing stress due to a medical illness, change in family situation, or other life event.
