- A basic medical check up including vitals
- The creation or formulation of your specific treatment goals with desired outcome

Why a Child Psychiatric Program?

A child psychiatrist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating behavioral and thought disorders in children. A child psychiatrist uses his knowledge on many factors including biological and psychological factors, in order to devise a treatment plan for a child with behavior and thought disorders. This plan may include medication to help control or minimize certain behaviors or thoughts.

For patients experiencing a mental health crisis, the child psychiatric team is ready to help them with treatment.
