Having a child or teen that needs help due to behavioral or emotional problems can be daunting for parents and guardians.
The best place to start to seek help for your child or teen is USUALLY with a counselor or therapist.
Sometimes, though, the problems are severe enough that further help is needed. If your child or teen is verbalizing or behaving in ways which cause you concern for their safety, they may need to be evaluated for immediate inpatient help. If this is the case we recommend you have your child evaluated at a child or teen inpatient facility to determine whether they need inpatient stabilization, or whether they are safe to keep at home.
If your child or teen is safe to be at home, but needs more than counseling or therapy, we can help!
