A written psychological and/or psychoeducational report will be given to you, as well as a feedback session to explain the results and answer your questions.

Our child psychiatrist is Board Certified in child/adolescent psychiatry, provides very thorough evaluations, and can prescribe medication as indicated and follow your child’s treatment progress closely. Our marriage and family therapists and other child psychologists and counselors on our team specialize in diagnosing and understanding the numerous and complex emotional difficulties children and adolescents face today. This frequently includes dealing with the many exceptionally difficult challenges such as:

• drug and alcohol problems

All of our child therapists and counselors will work with your child or adolescent’s teachers throughout the Miami-Dade / South Florida area if requested by the parent, and we coordinate closely with other health care professionals, when appropriate.
