An evaluation is recommended when a adolescent shows signs of struggling

There is no need to suffer emotionally or to struggle endlessly in life with no understanding of why this is happening. We can help you better understand yourself or your child and what steps to take to improve your quality of life.

Our doctors can help with diagnosis and treatment of emotional problems including:

  • Mood disorder, including Major Depression and Persistent Depressive Disorder Bipolar Disorder
  • Anxiety Disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder
  • Relationship Difficulties

We work to provide an accurate diagnosis using a multi-method assessment approach with input from the adolescent, parents, physician, and teachers.

After the evaluation is complete, we meet with parents to discuss evaluation findings and make recommendations regarding appropriate and effective interventions. We provide a detailed evaluation report to the parents and the physician who requested the evaluation.

If needed, we will talk with the child’s teachers, school counselors, and/or school administrators to convey test results and discuss recommended academic modifications and/or accommodations.
