We work closely with the child, family, school, medical and other mental health professionals for continuity and coordination of care.

We can help children with most kinds of anxiety including:

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
• Panic Disorder
• Overanxious Disorder
• Avoidant Disorder
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Specific Phobias
• Unspecific/Mixed Anxiety
• Elective Mutism
• School Avoidance

Treatment Options

When the child comes to the Pediatric Anxiety Program for treatment, one can expect that:

1. A brief telephone screening will help us determine if an evaluation is appropriate.
2. We will send questionnaires to gather additional information.
3. After reviewing the returned questionnaire, we will schedule and appointment for an evaluation.
4. When the evaluation is complete, we will discuss diagnosis and treatment options. Our treatment recommendations may include individual, family, and group counseling as well as medication.
