Psychiatry, or taking medication to treat a mental health disorder, is used to treat both the emotional and physical sides of mild to complex mental health conditions and disorders. Since psychiatrists are medical doctors, they may perform an exam, prescribe medications, order labs or use assessments to confirm diagnosis and determine best treatment. Psychiatrists, psychiatric advanced practice providers and many primary care physicians offer psychiatry.

Psychological testing can measure different abilities, cognitive functions or even specific personality traits. If you’re being evaluated for a mental health condition, testing may be needed to arrive at a specific diagnosis and treatment program, and/or as a pre-surgical or pre-procedural requirement. Licensed psychologists provide psychological testing.

Therapy and counseling (also known as “talk therapy” or “psychotherapy”) is a way to work through a wide variety of mental health challenges with a licensed professional who can help you navigate your problems, identify behavior patterns and find solutions. There are different types of talk therapies, and it’s often used in combination with other mental health treatments. Therapy is provided by a licensed psychologist, social worker or professional counselor.

Pediatric psychology promotes the health and psychological well-being of children, youth and their families through science and an evidence-based approach to consultation, evaluation and treatment. 

Our licensed pediatric psychologists will meet with your child one to three times for cognitive, academic, social, emotional and/or personality evaluation and testing. With this information, the pediatric psychologist will work with you and your family to create and carry out a treatment plan, as well as provide additional information and resources to help address concerns. 

Your child may also see a psychologist as a part of another clinic visit such as: hematology, oncology, cystic fibrosis, sleep medicine, cardiology, neurology, or pain and palliative medicine. Psychologists embedded in these clinics provide brief evaluation and consultation to help address complex medical, psychological and social needs that may impact care (such as struggling to take medication as part of a treatment plan) and determine if further evaluation is needed.
