Adolescent Behavioral Health Program

Patients referred for behavioral health support for issues may benefit from the services outlined below.

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment – This assessment occurs across two to three sessions lasting 60 minutes each. In each of these sessions, the patient and their family will meet with one of our behavioral health providers who will conduct a comprehensive assessment on matters related to the child/adolescent’s psychological, behavioral and social well-being. The family will receive recommendations for treatment on the final session of the assessment period.
• Individual and Family Psychotherapy – When indicated, families who have completed a Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment may continue to meet for evidence-based psychotherapy with one of our behavioral health providers. The behavioral health provider will meet with the patient, their parents and/or families (including siblings, when indicated) at a frequency that is guided by the focus of treatment. When necessary, the provider will consult with the patient’s primary care or prescribing physicians.
• Group Psychotherapy – When indicated, families who have completed a Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment and/or families already in individual/family psychotherapy may continue to meet for group psychotherapy. Group psychotherapy is conducted periodically by our  behavioral health providers, and groups may involve patients only, parents and/or siblings.
