Building resilience in a comfortable private practice setting.
Depending on what you’re experiencing with your child, it may be time to seek professional help. Here’s what to watch out for, and what the process of getting started with and receiving care from Meridian’s team looks like.
Symptoms and behaviors
Recognizing the signs that your child may be struggling is vital. You know your kid best; if you’re concerned about their well-being, seek help sooner rather than later. Early intervention makes an enormous difference in helping children and adolescents develop the skills they need to cope. Signs that can indicate a bigger problem include:
- Trouble at school
- Unusual sleep patterns
- Appetite changes
- Anxiety
- Mood swings
- Withdrawal or isolation
Meridian's providers have expertise to treat
whatever issues your child is experiencing
Evaluations and consultations
Knowing what to do can be overwhelming. Thankfully, you’ll have a clinical team to work with you to complete a comprehensive assessment of your child’s mental state with attention to all domains of development: physical, social, emotional and cognitive.
We can consult with their therapists, teachers and other professionals involved in their care — then collaborate with you to establish a personalized treatment plan that makes sense for your child and your family.
If you are still researching your options or seeking a second opinion, Meridian is here for you, too.
Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy
When working with children and adolescents, we believe in a shared, collaborative approach to psychotherapy and psychotropic medication management. Our master’s- and doctoral-level trained therapists are trauma-informed, have experience working with LGBTQI+ youth and are skilled in a variety of therapeutic modalities, such as:
- Psychodynamic
- Cognitive behavioral
- Mindfulness-based
- Play-based
Making the decision to add psychotropic medication to treatment is not an easy one. If and when medication is indicated, our child and adolescent psychiatrists will develop a safe treatment plan and responsibly monitor progress and side effects.
