Does Your Child Need A Behavioral Evaluation?

What We Do

In cooperation with community based mental health providers, we evaluate and treat children for behavior concerns and school problems including:

• Inattention and lack of focus 
• Anxiety
• Depression

If you have concerns about your child's behavioral development, please call our office and ask to speak to our Behavioral Health Coordinator. We will discuss your concerns and gather information that will be used to determine how we can best help your child. If a Behavioral Evaluation with one of our providers is needed, we will schedule this visit for you and provide you with assessment tools that you can complete prior to the your visit. Children with complicated emotional and mental health issues may be referred to a child and adolescent psychiatrist as well.

What to Expect

Before scheduling your appointment the office will need a signed contract for the provider. Please look under the "Assessment tools to complete" tab on this page for information about the contract.

Please allow 24-48 hours after sending the signed contract, for the office to contact you.

Most Behavioral Health Visits are done via Telemedicine Appointments. The office will explain the process of Telemedicine Appointments after the appointment has been scheduled.

Children with complicated emotional and mental health issues may be referred to a child and adolescent psychiatrist as well.

After your child's initial evaluation, if medication is started, your child must be seen within 28 days in order to continue the medication. If your child is doing well with his/her medication, subsequent appointments will be scheduled every 3 months. If a medication or dosage change is needed, your child must be seen within 1 month to assess your child's progress and to determine if the medication can be refilled.
