Navigating the challenges of everyday life can be hard for both parents and kids.


From temper tantrums and potty training to making new friends to dealing with puberty to really feeling anxious or down, our behavioral health specialists are here for you. They can help support both big and small challenges with toolkits and tips for each situation.

When your child isn’t at their best and facing social hurdles and emotional challenges, it can be really hard to know how to support them.

We are here to help.

Our pediatric behavioral health therapists can be your superhero sidekick, helping your child develop healthy coping skills and navigate these behavioral challenges.

COPA has licensed behavioral therapists at each location who specialize in specific pediatric therapies that are shown to have the biggest impact to help your child be their best self.

We are here for the big things and the small things, and everything in between. Reach out to our behavioral health team today and take the first step in helping your child feel better.

Our Integrated Approach

At COPA, we believe in supporting your child's whole health, mind, and body. Our integrated pediatric behavioral healthcare brings together our amazing pediatricians and behavioral health clinicians to create a safe and inclusive space for children of all ages.

This collaborative and comprehensive approach means we can address a wide range of behavioral and mental health concerns, from social anxieties and hyperactivity to challenges with sleep or processing difficult experiences. We take a family-centered approach, working with parents and children to understand the root of the issue and develop the right support system. This may include in-person appointments or virtual counseling, as well as connecting you with long-term specialists if needed for the best treatment options. 

Every child develops at their own pace, but some signs might indicate your child could benefit from extra support. These include frequent meltdowns, increased anxiety, social awkwardness, changes in sleep patterns, or unusual shifts in behavior. If you have any behavioral healthcare concerns, COPA's behavioral health team is here to listen and help your child thrive.

Nurturing your child's emotional well-being is just as important as their physical health. We offer a range of resources and support to help our pediatric patients develop healthy coping mechanisms, navigate challenges, and build strong social skills. Talk to your primary care pediatrician to learn more about our behavioral therapy for kids.

ADHD Assessment Process

If you have concerns about your child's attention span, activity level, or impulsivity, COPA is here to help with early intervention. Our ADHD comprehensive evaluation and assessment process begins with a simple phone consultation. When you call our main line at 541.389.6313, ask to be transferred to the ADHD Coordinator. During our initial chat, we’ll answer your questions and guide you through the next steps. Then, we’ll have you complete some forms about your child’s behavior (find those to the right), followed by an in-office appointment with a provider. 

We understand this can be a confusing time, and COPA is committed to providing you with the information and support you need throughout the process.
