What is the difference between a Child Psychiatrist or a Paediatric Psychiatrist and a general Psychiatrist for adults? A Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist has same extensive training as one for adults.  They have additional training and expertise to specialise in children's mental health specifically. A child psychiatrist or Paediatric psychiatrist is trained to specifically deal with issues that many children face, they understand the workings of a child's brain, and they understand how to communicate with various age groups.      
                         

A child and adolescent psychiatrist will help your child grow and overcome issues that can feel overwhelming and not surmountable. As a child, feeling different from your siblings, peers, and other family members can be extremely isolating. We can work with whole families to help everyone understand what your child may be going through as they work through the condition that brought them to the office in the first place.
                        

Nothing happens overnight, but improvement in behaviour, wellness, and communication will happen with steady treatment. We offer holistic care that means we treat the whole patient. This may mean addressing underlying issues, having whole family sessions, and more. We treat patients under the age of 25 and enjoy seeing them have the skills needed to become happy, balanced, successful adults.

 

We generally see new patients under the age of 25 years but are happy to continue to provide care for existing patients into adulthood. This includes those patients who have been under the care of a Paediatrician until the age of 17. We also offer Psychotherapy for all age groups.. Ask us how we can help you and your family, and schedule your first appointment soon to begin on the path to mental health wellness.
