During childhood and adolescence, the brain goes through an incredible amount of development. Sometimes during these changes―especially coupled with outside forces, children and teens can face some challenges.  Some issues are easy to solve, and others might result in a crisis.  Some children can handle these challenges, and some need assistance to navigate their way through.  At Centra Child & Adolescent Psychiatry & Behavioral Health Services, we focus on mental health symptoms and diagnoses as they apply to development and we support young people and their parents and families on the path to recovery.
