Help for children, teens and their families
When your child is struggling, the whole family feels it. We work with young people and the adults who care for them.
How we can help your child
A daytime program for kids and teens
Extra support during the day for young people who need more than weekly therapy. They go home every evening.
Day TreatmentTherapy
One on one, in a group, or as a family, scheduled around school and family life.
Outpatient TreatmentHelp with the rest of life
Someone who helps your family connect with medical care and services, and keeps everyone supporting your child on the same page.
Case ManagementMedication support from our psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioner is available for teens. Learn about medication support. Therapy, case management and medication support happen by secure video; the daytime program is in our office, by appointment.
Signs to look for
Every child has hard days. It may be time to reach out when changes like these last for weeks, or start getting in the way of home, school or friendships.
- Refusing to go to school, or grades dropping suddenly
- Pulling away from friends, family or activities they used to enjoy
- Ongoing sadness, irritability or angry outbursts
- Worry or fear that seems bigger than the situation
- Big changes in sleep or eating
- Trouble focusing, sitting still or following directions
- Using alcohol, vaping or drugs
- Frequent conflict at home or school
If your child talks about suicide or hurting themselves, don’t wait. Call the Nationwide Children’s youth crisis line at (614) 722-1800 (ages 17 and under, 24/7), call or text 988, or call 911.
How we work with families
You reach out
A parent or guardian can request an appointment or send us a question. Ask us anything before you decide.
We get to know your child
At the first visit we talk with your child and with you, then go over the options together. You decide on the plan with us.
Family therapy
Family sessions help everyone communicate and keep progress going at home.
Working with school and others
With your permission, we can help coordinate with the other people supporting your child.
Language support for families
Our team speaks several languages, and free interpreter services are available. Tell us which language your family prefers when you call.
