Consultation-based psychiatric assessment and treatment recommendations for children, teens, and young adults up to age 22.
At Whole Heart Mental Health & Wellness, our child and adolescent psychiatrists provide focused, consultation-based care to help families better understand their child’s mental health and explore evidence-based treatment options. A referral from a family doctor, nurse practitioner, or pediatrician is required.
Pediatric psychiatry is a specialized area of mental health care focused on understanding and supporting the emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs of children and adolescents.
During a psychiatric consultation, your child’s experiences, history, and current challenges are carefully reviewed to provide diagnostic clarity and personalized treatment recommendations. This may include guidance around therapy, school supports, and medication when appropriate. As a consultative service, ongoing care is provided in collaboration with your referring healthcare provider.
