- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
We also offer psychiatric care for children struggling to adjust or manage stressful situations.
What to expect
At your child’s first appointment, we’ll get to know your family and your child. When your child faces a behavioral health issue, it can disrupt their surroundings, your family and your child’s education. Your provider will include your family and child’s support system in every aspect of their care. Our child and adolescent psychiatrists will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your child’s needs. This treatment plan could be a combination of therapy, medication and other support.
Our comprehensive approach to your child's treatment is what sets us apart. Our psychiatrists collaborate closely with specialists throughout Nebraska Medicine, such as pediatricians and social workers, to ensure they receive the care they need to lead happy, fulfilling lives.
