Behavioral &
Mental Health
Being a kid isn’t always easy. Sometimes there can be obstacles along your path to adulthood. Our clinicians can help kids navigate those obstacles.
Behavioral & Mental Health Services
South Lake Pediatrics clinicians listen closely to parents and kids – and will help tailor mental health and behavioral health care for a specific child’s situation. Behavioral health care may include advice on toileting, sleep problems or tantrums. Our team can help you sort out why a child is struggling in school or having trouble with friends. We assess and treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, autism and other behavioral health conditions. And if a referral is needed, South Lake Pediatrics is plugged into the best behavioral and mental health specialists in town.
To arrange a behavior or mental health consult appointment with your child’s clinician, please contact our office at 952-401-8300.
