What You Can Expect

- Recommendations for treatment are then carefully reviewed with parents and/or guardians and youth.
- Services are designed to meet the specific treatment goals identified by the family and clinician.
- We work closely with the child or adolescent, family, primary care provider, school personnel and others to ensure that assessment and treatment are clinically appropriate and comprehensive.
