Helping Your Child Thrive: When to Seek Expert Evaluations and Care from Dr. Robbins and Our Team

As parents, we want nothing more than for our children to be happy and healthy. But sometimes, even the most loving and supportive environment can't prevent challenges from arising. When those challenges involve emotional or behavioral well-being, Dr. Eric Robbins and our team at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry can be a valuable resource.

Dr. Robbins Provides Expert Evaluations for Children and Teens

Dr. Robbins is a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience in child and adolescent mental health. He is dedicated to providing comprehensive evaluations that can help identify the root cause of your child's concerns. These evaluations will be conducted by Dr. Robbins himself.

Our Team of Knowledgeable Mental Health Nurse Practitioners Delivers Personalized Care

Following the evaluation, Dr. Robbins will work collaboratively with our team of highly qualified mental health nurse practitioners to develop a personalized treatment plan for your child. These nurse practitioners have extensive knowledge and experience in working with children and adolescents under Dr. Robbins' supervision.

Should You Seek Help? Signs to Look Out For

Every child develops at their own pace. However, there are some signs that may indicate your child could benefit from a professional evaluation:

Changes in mood or behavior: Is your child experiencing excessive sadness, irritability, or anxiety? Have there been significant shifts in their sleep patterns or appetite?

  • Academic struggles: Is your child falling behind in school despite their best efforts? Are they showing a sudden lack of interest in activities they once enjoyed?
  • Social difficulties: Does your child have trouble making or keeping friends? Do they seem withdrawn or isolated?
  • Attention problems: Is your child easily distracted or forgetful? Do they struggle to focus on tasks or complete assignments?
  • Self-harm or thoughts of suicide: If your child is expressing thoughts of harming themselves or ending their life, it's crucial to seek immediate help.


Taking the Next Step

If you're concerned about your child's emotional or behavioral well-being, Dr. Robbins and our team of nurse practitioners can help. Our practice offers a warm and welcoming environment for children and adolescents.

Remember, you're not alone. Many children and teens face mental health challenges, and with the right support, they can thrive.
