There are a number of reasons where your child would benefit seeing a private child psychiatrist. The first reason may be that they are experiencing persistent or severe behaviour difficulties. Seeing a child psychiatrist will help to diagnose these difficulties and formulate a treatment plan centred around your child’s development. Other reasons may also include; your child is dealing with trauma, difficulty with significant life events or symptoms of mental health disorders.
Yes, of course. Here at The Therapy Company, we completely understand that it’s a big deal for your child to see a private psychiatrist. In fact, we definitely recommend being present to give them the unconditional love and support that they’ll need from you. And of course, our team is exceptionally compassionate.
There are a few things that will happen during your child’s assessment. Firstly, we will gather the relevant information required about your child’s medical and family history. Secondly, we’ll evaluate current symptoms that have been identified. Thirdly, interviews may be conducted with parents or caregivers. The end goal is simple; assess your child’s mental health, make a diagnosis if applicable, and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
If you are currently using another private child psychiatrist and you wish to switch to The Therapy Company, you can do that and it’s super easy to do so. You may feel that your child will be better suited with a private and independent company that can offer quicker diagnosis and treatment plans.
Finding a reputable psychiatrist for your child is the all-important decision. It’s advised to seek referrals from other healthcare professionals you may be seeing or in contact with for your child. Alternatively, check out online business directories and online reviews to see what other caregivers are saying about the service provided.
