Adolescent Psychiatry Services at Ethos Wellness
Our adolescent psychiatry services are designed to offer multi-faceted support, ensuring every teen receives tailored care.
Our services include:
Diagnostic Evaluations
Thorough assessments, which may utilize tools like the CAPA (Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment), to accurately diagnose conditions and understand the teen's unique needs and developmental stage.
Medication Management
When clinically appropriate and necessary, medication is carefully prescribed and monitored, with a focus on pediatric needs, to ensure careful monitoring and integration with other therapies.
Individual and Group Therapy Options
Our psychiatrists work closely with therapists to integrate various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, as part of the overall treatment plan.
Family Collaboration and Psychoeducation
We believe that family and school environments are integral to the healing process. We actively involve families in treatment planning and provide psychoeducation to empower parents with knowledge and tools.
School Coordination
Close coordination with schools and primary care providers ensures holistic support and consistency in the teen's academic environment.
- Ethos Psychiatry Approach
Our Approach: Integrated Care for the Whole Teen
Our philosophy recognizes that effective adolescent psychiatric care extends beyond medication management to encompass the full spectrum of a teen’s life. We believe in early diagnosis and intervention to reduce the long-term impact of psychiatric conditions and foster lasting well-being. Our psychiatry services involve detailed assessments, accurate diagnoses, and integrated treatment plans that combine therapy, medication management, and active family involvement to provide comprehensive care. We support adolescents throughout their late teenage years, utilizing a holistic, team-based approach.
Our psychiatrists prescribe and monitor medication only when necessary, and always pair medication with ongoing therapy, psychoeducation, and skill development to foster sustainable healing. This ensures that medication is used judiciously as a tool to support the whole child, integrated within a broader therapeutic framework.
