The Pediatric Psychology Center (PPC) provides consultations and evaluations, including diagnostic interviews and psychological assessments when necessary. The areas of psychological functioning could be behavioral, emotional, social, cognitive or academic. Often assessments include research-based questionnaires, reports, and profiles. Importantly, parenting skills and methods are also emphasized in assessment and treatment plans.

Typically, referrals are accepted from numerous sources, including primary care physicians or pediatricians, psychiatrists, and other physicians or mental health providers. Referrals also come from parents themselves, former patient families, teachers, and guidance counselors.

 

Our mission is to provide individually tailored, sensitive, and empirically validated assessment and treatment approaches that are effective and based on scientific research. Also, a multidisciplinary approach is sometimes taken if it best serves the patients’ needs. Therefore, other health professionals may be involved in your care.
