When your child’s behaviors or thoughts are disrupting their day-to-day functioning, health, and well-being, they may have a behavioral or mental health disorder.

But what about when these unusual behaviors and feelings happen most of the time?

Behavioral health professionals at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center are experts at treating children of all ages with behavioral or mental health disorders. Our mental health practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, and nutrition therapists work closely with each patient’s physician and school to provide individualized treatment, and improve their quality of life.

“We get to see really powerful change, and the families and kids are so appreciative. We get kids who are so paralyzed by anxiety, or so ill from an eating disorder, that they can’t go to school or make friends.

But we can turn things around so that they are able to rediscover themselves academically, socially, and as a member of a team or family. It feels like we have gotten their future back in line. It’s fulfilling and gratifying, and it’s great to make such a difference.”
