What conditions do you treat?

The Child Mind Institute offers thorough evaluation and gold-standard treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions and concerns. Please refer to our What We Treat section for our areas of care.

My child has already been evaluated. Do I need another evaluation?

Yes. While we value previous evaluations, our clinicians will conduct a direct assessment to ensure we provide personalized and effective treatment recommendations tailored to your child’s specific needs.

Can I have my child evaluated at the Child Mind Institute and then look for treatment closer to home?

Absolutely. We often work with children who live outside New York City or San Mateo. Following the evaluation process, we may offer treatment sessions virtually, depending on what is best for your child and the laws in your state. We can also assist you in finding local specialists and collaborate with the clinicians currently involved in your child’s care.
