Who We Help

School Consultations

Supporting Your Child’s Success

School pressures like homework, friendships, and extracurriculars can lead to anxiety, depression, or behavioral challenges. While schools offer some support, independent therapy provides personalized care tailored to your child’s needs.

Here’s how we can help

  • Medical clearance to return to school
  • Psychiatric evaluations for IEPs and 504 plans
  • Assessments for behavioral and attentional concerns

Privacy you can trust
All sessions are confidential. Unless parents choose to involve the school, your child’s therapy stays private, creating a safe space for growth and recovery.

You’re not alone
Seeking help is the first step toward a healthier future. At Family Psychiatry and Therapy, we’re here to support your child—and your family—every step of the way.

Medical Clearance to Return to School

Traumatic events can significantly impact a child’s ability to function, often leading to insomnia, anger, depression, or anxiety. In cases involving threats, self-harm, social media threats, or harm to others, schools may suspend the child pending psychiatric clearance, typically requiring an evaluation by a licensed psychiatrist rather than a pediatrician.

Rather than subjecting your child to a lengthy and potentially traumatic emergency room visit, FPT offers expedited evaluations with our pediatric psychotic providers, often within the same or next day. This ensures:

  • A stress-free, compassionate evaluation process.
  • A focus on helping your child return to school safely and confidently.
  • Prevent the trauma of a lengthy and intrusive Emergency Room experience
  • Engage your child in mental health services to start the process of healing

Engaging in therapy can help your child develop coping strategies for managing classroom demands and underlying stress. When a child needs psychiatric treatment, we can offer immediate services from the privacy of your own home, the most popular choice for this generation of children.

IEPs and 504 Plans For Your Child

Some children thrive with additional educational support. Psychiatric evaluations for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 Plans ensure that children with unique needs receive the accommodations necessary to succeed.

IEPs designed for students with learning disabilities involve:

  • Evaluations of academic performance and test results.
  • Development of a comprehensive plan for accommodations and therapy.
  • Ongoing monitoring of progress and emotional well-being throughout the student’s educational journey.

504 Plans, unlike IEPs, provide accommodations for a broader range of needs, including:

  • Attention disorders
  • Behavioral challenges
  • Social difficulties

These plans are tailored to the individual, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to thrive in a traditional classroom setting.

Behavioral Disorders in Children

Emotional and behavioral challenges are increasingly common among children due to modern academic pressures. We help children with a range of conditions, including:

  • ADHD and ADD
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Social or emotional difficulties related to dyslexia

Treatment plans are crafted in collaboration with parents and focus on building resilience and emotional balance. Therapy sessions provide children with a safe, nonjudgmental space to express themselves, often resulting in significant improvements without the need for medication.
