Behavioral Health: Child & Adolescent
Compassionate care for young minds
Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Services
Children of all ages and from every socioeconomic background face many challenges today. There are stressors that exist in their homes, schools, and their communities. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services (CAPS) Program at CareWell Health can help.
At CareWell Health Medical Center, children and adolescents are treated by a multi-disciplinary staff consisting of child and adolescent psychiatrists, licensed psychotherapists, and registered nurses, who provide consistent compassionate care.

Our Family-Centered Approach
Before any treatment begins, we take the time to understand your child as a whole person — because the right placement starts with a thorough evaluation.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Every child's journey begins with an in-depth clinical assessment. Our providers evaluate behavioral patterns, emotional well-being, academic performance, family dynamics, social relationships, and environmental factors. By looking at every dimension of your child's life, we gain a complete picture — not just symptoms — to guide the most effective course of care.
Determining the Right Placement
Based on the evaluation, our clinical team determines which level and type of care is the best fit for your child — whether that's individual therapy, group sessions, family counseling, medication management, or a combination. Every recommendation is tailored to your child's specific needs, strengths, and circumstances to ensure the greatest chance of meaningful progress.
Family as Partners in Care
Lasting progress happens when families are involved. Parents, legal guardians, and other support figures are encouraged to actively participate in the treatment process. Together, we strengthen communication, build understanding, and create a stable home environment that supports your child's healing.
Ongoing Growth & Adjustment
As your child progresses, their treatment plan evolves with them. Through regular sessions with their psychiatric provider and therapist, we continually assess and adjust care to match their growth. Our goal is to equip children and families with healthy coping skills, self-awareness, and the confidence to thrive.
Community Education & Training
The CAPS Program also provides the community with ongoing education and training to support children's mental health beyond our clinic walls.
