Outpatient Psychiatry Service

As one of the largest pediatric psychiatric services in New England, our experienced team of psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers work with children and their families to cope with physical illnesses, neurobehavioral disorders and mood disorders.

The Outpatient Psychiatry Service is divided into four programs:

• The Emergency Psychiatry Program provides emergency evaluations and crisis intervention in the emergency room at Children's.
• The Neuropsychology Program offers state-of-the-art psychological assessment of children and adolescents with physical or neurological illness.
• The Psychopharmacology Program helps assess and manage children and adolescents taking psychopharmacological medication.

• The Psychosocial Treatment Program uses psychoeducational, cognitive, behavioral and dynamic treatment approaches in individual, family and group therapy settings. Programs include the Group Therapy Team, Latino Team, Medical Coping Team and Mood Disorders Team.
