Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Expert care designed for kids, teens and their families from providers who get it. Meet from home, get a clear plan, and access the support you need.

Our Approach

Care Built for the Family

When a child or teen is struggling, the whole family can feel it. Our specialized child and adolescent psychiatrists take the time to listen, understand, and tailor a personalized plan that kids and their families can follow at home and in school. You can expect:

  • Thorough evaluation that clarifies what’s going on (and what isn’t)
  • Thoughtful medication management, including prescribing or deprescribing when appropriate
  • Family-centered care with practical tips for behavior and lifestyle support
  • Easy telepsychiatry access across MT, ID, and AK to avoid long drives and missed school days.

What We Help With

Common Symptoms in Kids and Teens

When difficult patterns show up in the thoughts, feelings, or emotions of a child, it’s easy to head down the spiral of trying to diagnose them yourself. Though knowledge can be power, guessing causes stress. Our licensed psychiatry team is experienced in assessing each child’s unique symptoms and needs. We’ve seen it all and can help get to the bottom of diagnosing clinical conditions and exploring symptoms like:

  • Big worries and panic
  • Focus and impulsivity (ADHD-related or not)
  • School and activity avoidance
  • Sadness or mood swings
  • Trauma-related struggles
  • Eating, weight, or body image concerns
  • Substance experimentation
  • Obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviors (OCD)
  • Sleep struggles
  • Physical symptoms (headaches, stomach pain, etc)


What To Expect

Their First Appointment

We’ll take time to listen and translate a plan into easy-to-implement steps.

1. Thorough Assessment

Your provider will guide an unhurried 45-minute conversation to learn your child’s story, strengths, and stressors.

2. Expert Opinion

We’ll offer a diagnosis if it’s clear or give next steps for deeper assessment to help you gain clarity and confidence.

3. Real-Life Plan

Your child will get a personalized care plan, which may include medication prescriptions or changes and recommendations for therapy or behavior tools.
