Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Child and adolescent psychiatry or pediatric psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders in children, adolescents, and their families. It investigates the biopsychosocial factors that influence the development and course of these psychiatric disorders and treatment responses to various interventions.
Completely confidential services that respect the privacy of children and their caretakers. Restoring the joy of living in distressed children and adolescents. No active prescription of medicines or injections– working with your child for a better future.
We achieve clinical excellence through our use of innovative treatment approaches informed by scientific study and by creating an individualized continuum of care that incorporates the clinical, social and cultural characteristics of the patient and family. We understand that each family has unique strengths, values and goals, and that the best outcomes are possible when families and caregivers are active participants in their child’s treatment.
Our psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, social workers, and nurse practitioners are leaders in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry. Through our Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation–Liaison Service and Integrated Behavioral Health Program, we provide clinical services, consultations, education, and program expertise across the continuum of care at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.
Our clinicians provide state-of-the-art evidence-based treatments for a full range of childhood and adolescent psychiatric concerns and needs, including:
As the person who cares for your child, you usually know your child better than anyone else. As your child develops and grows, they may have problems from time to time. If your child is acting unusual or seems to have a lot of distress for a long period of time, it may be time to get help. Other times to worry are when your child is showing highly unusual behavior that is causing them or others harm.
It is sometimes hard to know whom to turn to when your child has mental health concerns. A good place to start is your child’s doctor or pediatrician. You can talk to your child’s doctor about your worries and they can help you understand whether these concerns are a normal part of your child’s growth, or whether they need help.
Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders which cause problems with feeling, thinking, and behavior. They are specially trained and qualified to treat infants, children, adolescents, and adults as individuals, couples, families, and groups. Because a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist has training in both adult and child psychiatry, and because their additional training provides them a unique perspective to understand the role childhood experiences play in adulthood, many adults will seek treatment from a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist.
Not all clinicians and researchers agree about when the transitional age period starts and ends. For this document, the transitional age period is defined as spanning the age range of 16 through 25 years old. This period is increasingly recognized as being a distinct developmental period characterized by progressive independence and the establishment of careers, families, and core values. The degree of independence from parents and establishment of adult roles varies widely within this group.
