Our Approach to Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology
Innovative Treatments That Build Skills
The right treatment depends on your child’s needs, symptoms and goals. Our providers offer options such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parent-child intensive therapy, and psychological and neuropsychological testing.
We also offer programs such as integrated behavioral health prevention. These services help address challenges and build skills children can use in daily life. Our team stays current with clinical practices through ongoing education and training.
Team-Based Care Across Specialties
Behavioral health concerns can affect sleep, school, relationships and physical health. Your child may need support from more than one type of specialist. Our team works with experts across Cincinnati Children’s to help address these connected needs.
We partner with specialists in cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, gastroenterology, rehabilitation medicine, endocrinology, rheumatology and adolescent medicine, among other areas. This team-based approach helps providers share information and coordinate care around your child’s needs.
Personalized Care for Every Child
Every child has different strengths, challenges and goals. We consider these differences when planning care. Our providers work with families to identify appropriate treatments and practical ways to support progress at home, at school and in everyday activities.
Parents and caregivers play an important role in this process. Your questions and observations help the team understand what your child is experiencing. Together, you can build a plan that fits your child and family.
Experience Supporting Children and Families
Our team provides care for approximately 90,000 patients each year. We support children and families with a range of behavioral, emotional and mental health needs.
This experience spans conditions such as anxiety, sleep disorders, eating disorders, gastrointestinal concerns and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Our providers focus on evidence-based treatment and work with families to help children build skills and improve daily life.
Guidance for Your Family’s Next Steps
Knowing where to start can be one of the hardest parts of seeking behavioral health care. Families can contact our intake team to discuss their concerns. The team helps determine the appropriate service and works to schedule a visit that fits the child’s needs.
During care, providers explain treatment recommendations and help families understand what to expect. You can ask questions, discuss concerns and learn strategies to support your child between visits. Our goal is to help your family feel informed and involved as you move forward with care.
