Child Psychiatry
What Is Child Psychiatry
Child Psychiatry at Epic Health Partners offers diagnosis, evaluation, and medication management for children and adolescents dealing with serious emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns.
Our licensed child and adolescent psychiatric providers work alongside families and therapists to create safe, individualized treatment plans that support each child’s development, stability, and long-term well-being.
When symptoms become too severe for therapy alone — or when a child is not responding to previous interventions — psychiatry offers a critical layer of clinical care.
Why Families Choose Epic for Psychiatric Care
Licensed Child and Adolescent Providers
Our psychiatric team includes board-certified psychiatrists and nurse practitioners who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in youth — from ADHD and anxiety to mood and thought disorders.
Full Diagnostic Assessments
We don’t rush decisions. Each child receives a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that includes family input, medical history, symptom review, and coordination with therapists or schools.
Family Involvement and Education
Parents and guardians are involved in every step — from evaluation to medication planning and follow-up. We provide education around risks, benefits, side effects, and long-term care strategies.
Medication Plus Therapy = Best Outcomes
Psychiatric services are offered in combination with Outpatient Therapy for Children and other supports — ensuring that medication is always part of a larger care plan.
