Behavioral Health Care
MENTAL CRISIS – If you believe your child is a danger to themselves or others, or in a mental or behavioral crisis, call the Deschutes County Crisis Hotline immediately at (800) 875-7364. It’s available 24 hours a day. If your child is having suicidal thoughts or showing acute negative mental behaviors, call 9-1-1 for help.
MENTAL WELLNESS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PHYSICAL WELLNESS
Pediatric care requires an integrated approach to both physical and mental health to ensure your child’s overall wellbeing. We work with children of all ages to address any concerns regarding their psychological or behavioral development and mental wellness.
These are just a few of the areas we address:
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Anxiety and stress
- Discomfort in social situations
- Ability to maintain focused attention (ADHD, ADD)
- Depression
- Concerns at school
- Eating Disorders
- Anger management, aggression
- Hyperactivity and impulsivity
- Self destructive behaviors
- Harm to others or animals
We offer a family-centered, comprehensive team approach between the parent, child, physician and behavioral health consultant to understand the root of your child’s core concerns and offer appropriate counseling and treatments.
We also work with other pediatric specialists and refer your child to other experts as needed, offering care coordination to ensure the best outcomes.
If you have any concerns about the developmental course, behavioral health, or mental wellness of your child, do not hesitate to call. You can make an appointment with your physician for a referral to one of our Behavioral Health Consultants below.
