- Adjusting to a new medical diagnosis
- Treating/managing symptoms from a chronic medical condition

- Returning to normal functioning following a medical diagnosis or injury
For example, if a young patient experiences anxiety because of a new diagnosis or a flare-up of a medical condition, they can meet with a pediatric psychologist. This type of care is available during a patient’s appointment with the pediatric specialist who provides their ongoing medical care.
To participate, the patient’s doctor must refer them to the program. If a patient needs additional behavioral health services to address anxiety or depression beyond the scope of visits, we can refer them to providers for ongoing therapy.
