Child Psychiatry
Specialized Care for Young Minds
Our Child Psychiatry services provide specialized, compassionate, and family-centered care for children from early childhood through the pre-teen years.
We understand that a child’s mental health is intimately tied to their family and environment. We provide an inclusive and affirming space where children and their caregivers feel supported as we work together to foster resilience and balance.
This specialized care acknowledges that a child’s symptoms—whether they manifest as behavioral outbursts, school refusal, or extreme worry—are often their way of communicating an unmet developmental or emotional need. Our expert Child Psychiatrists possess deep knowledge of child development and brain science, allowing us to accurately differentiate typical developmental challenges from complex psychiatric conditions.
Our goal extends beyond immediate symptom management; we are dedicated to creating a foundation for lifelong emotional health, ensuring your child can navigate their world with competence and confidence. When you choose Arbit Counseling, you're partnering with a team committed to seeing your child in the context of their whole life—family, school, and community—for truly holistic healing.

Our Integrated and Child-Focused Approach
Our approach to Child Psychiatry is holistic and collaborative. We emphasize early intervention and work closely with parents, caregivers, and existing therapists to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Comprehensive Evaluation: We conduct a thorough psychiatric evaluation to understand the biological, psychological, developmental, and social factors contributing to your child’s difficulties.
Integration of Psychotherapy: We believe the most effective care for young children integrates psychiatric expertise with specialized therapy. Our child psychiatrists work closely with our expert clinicians, who specialize in modalities such as Play Therapy, PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy), and Parent Guidance.
Medication Management: If appropriate for the child’s specific diagnosis and developmental stage, our Child Psychiatrist will discuss the safe, evidence-based use of psychopharmacology (medication) as a carefully considered part of the treatment strategy.
Parent Partnership: Parents are the primary agents of change in a young child’s life. We ensure you are informed, supported, and actively involved in implementing the strategies for healing and growth.
