Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

When your child is struggling, finding the right support can make all the difference. Inception Psychiatry provides compassionate, personalized psychiatric care for children ages 6 and older and adolescents, taking the time to understand each young person's symptoms, experiences, development, and individual needs.

A clearer understanding starts with listening

Every child deserves to feel heard and understood

Children and adolescents can experience mental health challenges differently than adults, and their needs can change significantly as they grow. Thoughtful psychiatric care begins with understanding not only the symptoms a young person is experiencing, but also how those concerns may be affecting life at home, school, relationships, and everyday functioning.


At Inception Psychiatry, care is personalized to each child's age, experiences, concerns, and needs, with appropriate involvement from parents or caregivers throughout the process.

Supporting the whole child

Mental health doesn't exist in isolation. We consider the different factors that may be affecting how your child feels, behaves, learns, connects with others, and functions from day to day.

Age-Appropriate Care

Treatment is tailored to your child's age, development, needs, and individual circumstances.

Comprehensive Evaluation

We take the time to understand symptoms, history, experiences, and the factors that may be contributing to your child's concerns.

Family Collaboration

Parents and caregivers are appropriately involved in helping us understand concerns and support treatment.

Thoughtful Treatment

Recommendations are individualized and guided by evidence-based psychiatric care and your child's specific needs.

Clear Communication

We help families understand diagnoses, treatment recommendations, medications, and available options.

Ongoing Support

Care evolves as your child grows, symptoms change, and treatment needs develop over time.

Psychiatric care that grows with them

The challenges a 7-year-old experiences may look very different from those of a 17-year-old. Our approach considers each young person's developmental stage and the unique challenges they may be navigating.

Children 6+

Age-appropriate psychiatric evaluation and treatment focused on understanding emotional, behavioral, developmental, and everyday functioning concerns.

Adolescents

Individualized psychiatric care that considers the emotional, social, academic, and developmental changes that occur throughout the teenage years.

Adults

Parents and caregivers can play an important role in a young person's mental health care. We work collaboratively with families when appropriate to help them understand treatment and support progress outside of appointments.
