Behavioral Health
Does Your Child Need a Behavioral Health Evaluation?
In cooperation with community based mental health providers, we evaluate and treat children for behavior concerns and school problems including:
- Inattention and lack of focus
- Anxiety
- Depression
If you have concerns about your child's behavioral health, please call our office. We will discuss your concerns and gather information that will be used to determine how we can best help your child. If a behavioral evaluation a provider is needed, we will schedule this visit for you and provide you with assessment tools that you can complete prior to the your visit.
What We Do
Children are just as prone to psychological and emotional challenges as an adult. Children struggling with depression or anxiety may be confused and unaware that help is available.
Sometimes, behavioral problems could stem from undiagnosed conditions, such as:
- Learning disabilities
- Attention-deficit disorder (ADD)
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autism
- Child adjustment disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Oppositional defiant disorder
Unaddressed mental health issues can affect overall healthy development and, if severe enough, even their future. If you suspect that your child is trying to deal with a problem, Dr. Brawner can help.
Parents and caregivers are often the first to notice a change in a child. Mental health support is essential to support a child’s physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and developmental growth.
