Healing Therapeutic Servicesfor children struggling with

depression, anxiety, trauma or

A parent wouldn’t think twice about getting help for a child suffering from a physical injury.

Washburn ensures parents and professionals have a resource to help kids hurting “on the inside” — because children’s mental health is as important as their physical health.

Washburn Center for Children is a leading children’s mental health center. Our therapists are

experts in identifying and treating children with social, emotional or behavioral problems, such as:

attention deficit disorder, anxiety, trauma, depression, parent/child conflicts or grief.

Fees

Washburn accepts payments from most health care

plans, including Medical Assistance. Washburn

Does My Child Need Help?

One out of five children will experience mental

health challenges, but knowing when to seek

help can be overwhelming.

Does your child have:

q challenges with sleeping, nightmares or a

hard time falling asleep?

q worries that make it hard to play, learn or

follow directions?

q frequent feelings of anger, irritability or rage?

Has your child:

q witnessed a traumatic event?

q experienced significant loss, such as a death

in the family or divorce?

q been encouraged by a teacher or pediatrician

to complete a behavioral, emotional or

developmental assessment?

If you answered “yes,” and your child is struggling at home

or in school, Washburn is a place to turn for help.

Washburn’s diagnostic assessments provide a comprehensive

understanding of a child’s social, emotional and behavioral

development to determine a path for healing.

“Washburn provided us with the tools to not only help my child, but also to be a stronger family.”
