You know your child better than anyone. When something feels off, whether it is how they learn, focus, manage emotions, or cope with a medical condition, it helps to have a team that can tell you what is going on and what to do about it. Children's Behavioral Medicine Collaborative works with families across the Puget Sound to understand how a child thinks, learns, and feels, and to turn that understanding into a clear plan you can act on.
Most parents and caregivers come to us with a specific concern. Common reasons families schedule with us include:
You do not need to have all the answers before you call. Part of our job is helping you figure out what kind of support, if any, your child actually needs.
Depending on what your child needs, we offer:
If you are not sure which of these fits, start with a phone call and we will help you sort it out.
We try to make the process feel manageable from the first call.
Parents come to us when they notice something — even if they can't name it yet.
A brief initial conversation to discuss your needs, answer questions, and determine if our services are the right fit.
Remote forms and assessments completed before your appointment to gather essential background information and medical history.
A detailed, one-on-one discussion to deeply explore your current concerns, symptoms, and personal history.
In-depth, targeted testing and assessment activities used to gather objective data for an accurate diagnosis.
A final meeting to review the evaluation findings, discuss the formal diagnosis, and collaborate on a personalized treatment plan.
