Conditions We Treat
Benefits of pediatric telehealth therapy
Telehealth therapy offers many benefits, including:
Sessions on your schedule. We understand that schedules can get hectic – and emotional needs don’t always align with office hours. That’s why our virtual behavioral health visits make counseling, therapy and psychiatry available 24/7. It’s easy to schedule an appointment that’s convenient for your child.
Comfortable platform. The digital platform of our virtual visits helps put children at ease. With video conferencing, your child can control whether their face is visible to their provider during sessions. This feature can help children talk about tough topics more easily than in-person sessions because they don’t have to feel as if they’re “on display.”
Access to expert care, anywhere. With our virtual visits, you and your child can access a board-certified psychiatrist or licensed therapist no matter where you live. Pediatric telehealth therapy seamlessly connects children to the mental health care they need, from wherever they are.
Customized care for every patient
You can browse our providers’ expertise in our app and select a therapist for your child based on their experience. We have providers that specialize in supporting children and teens from many backgrounds and communities, including:
Adjustment Skills
Stress Management
Worry
And More
You can also search for psychiatrists who can prescribe medication to help children navigate emotional health challenges.
Virtual behavioral health sessions may not be the right option for some children, such as those who:
Are in physical danger or are physically endangering people around them
Are experiencing hallucinations
Are nonverbal
Children experiencing these problems may need in-person treatment at a hospital. Our experts are well-connected to behavioral health providers across the state and can help refer children for in-person care.
Behavioral health treatments and approaches
Children’s Health℠ relies on a national network of behavioral health telemedicine providers with extensive expertise in various areas of therapy. Our network includes psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, professional counselors and marriage and family therapists.
Depending on your child’s needs, their sessions with board-certified psychiatrists may include:
Medication evaluations (45-minute appointments)
Ongoing medication management (15-minute appointments)
In 45-minute sessions, licensed therapists work with your child using:
Counseling, which focuses on listening to your child’s perspective and emotions about the challenges they are facing and offers solutions for helping your child navigate them.
Assessments, during which our team works to understand what is causing your child's symptoms and tailor a treatment plan to address the causes.
Social work, which helps connect your child to the resources they need to tackle challenges.
Individual therapy, which is a customized approach to treating and helping your child work through obstacles and gain skills to cope.
