Mental Health Therapy
We offer individual, parent-only, and family therapy sessions. Our team of three clinicians at Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health is committed to facilitating positive transformation in the lives of individuals and families. Together, we can help children develop better coping strategies, establish healthy habits, and pave the way for improved overall health and well-being.
We work with children and families to address common concerns such as anxiety, anger outbursts, school issues and more.
ADHD Assessments
Our goal is to provide targeted, in-depth and data-driven ADHD assessments for children and adolescents ages 6 through 18. We aim to provide diagnostic clarity along with tailored recommendations to help promote academic success and strategies to help support executive functioning skills building.
The assessment includes a structured interview, a testing session and a feedback session. We will provide assessment in the areas of psychosocial development, brief cognitive screener, academic achievement, a computerized assessment of attention, as well as parent, teacher, and self reports of clinical symptoms.
Feeding Therapy
We offer treatment for a variety of concerns related to feeding disorders in childhood. Mealtimes can stressful for families where at least one child has a limited number of foods they will eat, won’t eat enough to grow in a healthy way, or have lots of behavior problems during meals. Dr. Huston’s background working in multidisciplinary pediatric feeding clinics prior to starting COPBH gives us a deep understanding of what families go through when mealtimes are stressful. We use a variety of strategies to reduce stress at meals, help kids gain confidence to try new things, and improve overall health and nutrition. We can also coordinate with medical providers, feeding therapists, and dieticians when helpful.
Coping with Complex
Medical Conditions
Managing a chronic condition can have both direct and indirect impact on quality of life, social development, and overall functioning. Whether they show this as anxiety, mood problems, behavioral challenges, or a combination of these, we can work together to teach appropriate ways to express and cope with the challenges of their condition. In doing so, we can unlock their potential to be the best version of themselves. Common presenting concerns include: Treatment refusal (medicine, exercises, etc.), Medical anxiety, Behavioral challenges, Depressive symptoms and sadness, and social difficulties
