Mental Health

As pediatric providers, it is our job to make sure children and young people grow up healthy: to eat healthy so bodies grow healthy, to make sure school is healthy so brains are learning healthy, and to make sure minds are healthy so feelings are healthy.  We offer initial ADHD evaluations, initial Behavioral evaluations and initial Adolescent evaluations to our PAA patients in our efforts to help them grow up healthy.

Anxiety, Depression and Behavioral assessments may be scheduled at PAA.  We use clinical interviews and written assessment tools to make a diagnosis.  Then individual treatment plans are developed which utilize resources in the community and at PAA. 

Please call the office if you would like to schedule an initial evaluation with one of our providers.

PAA offers solution focused short-term therapy that focuses on one to two treatment goals that are achievable in a few months’ time, typically 6-8 sessions completed over a 3 month time period.  Our therapists may advise patients to connect to other external resource providers or longer term care if more appropriate based on the patient's mental health concerns.

Please check the Resources tab on this website under Community Resources for further options for care.
