Child and Adolecent Psychiatry
Child and adolescent psychiatry is a specialized branch of psychiatry that focuses on the mental health and emotional well-being of children and adolescents, typically from birth through the age of 18 or sometimes even up to 21 years old. It’s a field of medicine that deals with the unique psychological and developmental challenges that young people face during their formative years.
Medication Management
These are regularly scheduled appointments to assure the optimal dosage and medication regimen.
Care is taken to treat patients as individuals regarding specific diagnosis, wants and needs, and ongoing treatment planning.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Intake
This is a 90 minute initial appointment. We take time to completely understand your concerns and to work together to find the treatment strategy that best fits your needs and preferences.
All psychiatric intakes include diagnostic feedback, treatment recommendations, and prescriptions (if warranted).
Individual Therapy
Weekly individual therapy involves 45-minute weekly sessions, in which we check in about your mood, progress toward goals, and teach and practice new coping skills.
For youth under 18, weekly individual therapy also involves checking in with parents during most sessions and some parent-only and/or family sessions.
LGBTQ+ and Mental Health
It’s essential to remember that your feelings and experiences are valid, and seeking help and guidance is a positive step. Peace Behavioral Health provides a safe and non -judgmental place where you can access mental health support regarding Identity and Self-Exploration.
Relationships
Establishing and maintaining healthy relationships is an essential part of overall well-being, and Peace Behavior Health can provide guidance and support to help you improve your interpersonal connections.
Additional Services
Therapy intensives
- Certain anxiety disorders, such as specific phobias, agoraphobia, and panic disorder can be effectively treated in intensive formats. In this case we offer the option to start intensive services during a break from work or school (i.e., summer, winter, or spring break) to set up for success when returning back to a normal schedule. Contact us to discuss options if you or a loved one is suffering from a Specific Phobia, Panic Disorder, or Agoraphobia.
Second Opinions
If you currently do not feel like your current treatment is optimal, feel like another provider did not take the time to fully understand your situation, or simply would like a second opinion before deciding on a treatment we are happy to assist in providing diagnostic clarification.
