Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child needs a psychiatric evaluation?

If behavior or mood challenges significantly impact daily life, an evaluation can clarify next steps and support early intervention.

Will my child need medication?

Medication is one component of care. We explore therapy, lifestyle changes, and coping strategies first, prescribing only when indicated.

How long does treatment last?

Treatment duration varies. We collaborate to set goals, monitor progress, and adjust the plan for the best outcomes.
