rational emotive therapy as well as various other modalities to aid children and adolescents in their

Psychiatry Services
A referral to our psychiatrist can be made if there appears to be a need for medication to help manage
mental health concerns. Psychiatry Services offered through Human Services are somewhat limited and we
encourage utilization of other physicians in the area if possible.
