At Colonia Pediatrics in Metuchen, NJ, we offer detailed Mental Health Screening services focused on identifying early emotional and behavioral issues in children and adolescents. Our approach promotes early intervention and long-term mental wellness.
Mental health screenings provide a critical opportunity to identify anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorder, and other behavioral challenges early. Early detection helps minimize academic and social difficulties.
We utilize validated questionnaires and clinical evaluations tailored to different age groups. These assessments include input from parents and, when appropriate, the child to ensure an accurate understanding of mental health status.
When concerns are found, we coordinate care with mental health professionals and therapists, providing families with referrals and a personalized approach to treatment.
Parents receive education on mental health symptoms, coping mechanisms, and strategies to promote emotional resilience within the home and community.
Regular appointments track your child’s progress and allow timely updates to care plans, supporting continued emotional and behavioral health.
Colonia Pediatrics is committed to providing compassionate, expert mental health screening services to help Metuchen children thrive in mind and body. Book your consultation with our pediatricians in Metuchen today.
