Children's Behavioral Medicine Collaborative is a referral partner for pediatricians, family physicians, psychiatrists, and other providers across the Puget Sound who need clear, clinically sound answers about a child's development, learning, or behavior. When you refer a patient, you are sending them to a team trained in the settings where these questions are answered every day.
Our providers are fellowship-trained pediatric psychologists and neuropsychologists with more than 50 years of combined experience in hospital-based pediatric care. Our clinicians completed fellowships at programs including the Medical University of South Carolina, the University of Louisville School of Medicine and Norton Children’s, and Seattle Children’s Hospital. They have spent years in pediatric neuropsychology and psychology at Mary Bridge Children’s. That background means we are comfortable with medically complex presentations, including epilepsy and other seizure disorders, concussion and traumatic brain injury, the effects of cancer and cancer treatment, and genetic and neurodevelopmental conditions.
We provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations that examine cognition, learning, attention, memory, executive functioning, and social and emotional functioning, and that clarify diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, and specific learning disorders when the findings support them. On the treatment side, our pediatric psychologists provide evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, Tourette syndrome and tic disorders, and adjustment to medical and developmental conditions, along with biofeedback and skills groups.
A neuropsychological evaluation can help when a patient shows:
We see children, teens, and young adults, from early childhood through college age.
We review findings and recommendations with families directly, and we provide a detailed written report. With appropriate consent, we coordinate with referring providers so your office has what it needs to support the patient.
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.
Experienced professionals dedicated to helping children and families thrive.

Call Us
Providers and families come to us from across the Puget Sound, including Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Bainbridge Island, Olympia, and Gig Harbor. We are used to coordinating with schools and providers throughout the region.
If you would like to determine whether an evaluation is the right step for one of your patients, we are glad to talk it through.
No. Families can schedule directly, though referrals are welcome. With consent, we coordinate with your office.
We are not contracted with insurance, but many families still receive reimbursement depending on their plan. In some cases, out-of-network exceptions may allow in-network reimbursement rates. We are happy to provide the information families need to check their coverage and can answer any cost-related questions during their initial call.
Children, teens, and young adults, from early childhood through college age.
Families receive a detailed written report with findings and recommendations. With appropriate consent, we coordinate results with your office.
It depends on the requested service. Neuropsychological evaluations are currently being scheduled 1 to 2 months out, while new therapy patients can typically be seen within 1 to 2 weeks.
If you are noticing something and you are not sure what to do next, a phone call is the easiest place to begin.
We will listen, answer your questions, and help you decide on a next step.
