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.

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 Do they seem withdrawn or isolated?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.
