Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Arlington
Specialized Psychiatric Care for Young Minds in Arlington
Many of our staff members have advanced knowledge, skills, and training in specific areas. They are equipped to diagnose and treat a range of conditions, such as:
- Anxiety disorders and phobias
- Depression and mood disorders
- ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Behavioral issues, like oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or conduct disorder
- Adjustment issues with significant life changes such as parental divorce, changing towns or schools, or the loss of a loved one
Our goal is to focus on children’s strengths and build on them. We get to know them, understand their needs, and try to help them reach their fullest potential. We also use age-appropriate and evidence-based assessment tools and therapeutic techniques, always involving family collaboration where appropriate.
Assessing Your Child’s Mental Health Needs
Before your child’s first pediatric psychiatry appointment at our Arlington location, we will send you a brief questionnaire covering medical and family history, their development, and any concerns you have noted. Completing it ahead of time helps us focus on what matters most during your visit. Our psychiatry providers usually form a diagnosis, often following the first or second appointment, although we sometimes need additional testing to confirm. We then outline our therapy recommendations – some children benefit from short-term support and follow-up, while others need long-term care. Whenever possible, we collaborate with community providers once your child is stable, but remain available to re-evaluate and resume care if needed.
Benefits of Seeking Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Our pediatric patients benefit from our psychiatric professional help for children in many ways:
- They learn how to stabilize their emotions and mood
- Their communication skills are enriched
- They expand their coping strategies
- Their academic performance improves
- Their family relationships become stronger
- They benefit from early detection of mental health issues
Our mental wellness providers aim to empower your child so they can thrive in their everyday environment. We also provide support for parents and caregivers.
Our child and adolescent psychiatrists and therapists engage young patients in ways that they can understand and respond to. Our therapy plans are personalized, often incorporating elements like play therapy for younger children, talk therapy for teens, and family counseling sessions. We also take medication management into consideration, when necessary. Importantly, we believe collaboration with parents and guardians is essential for successful outcomes.
