Pediatric Behavioral Health
Collaborative Care for Growing Minds
At Core Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, we recognize that behavioral health is an essential part of your child’s overall well-being. When challenges arise, they can affect every aspect of daily life — for children, teens, and their families. With early support, we can make a lasting difference. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care, connecting you with practical resources, and helping your family move forward with confidence.
Comprehensive Care & Support
Every child’s needs are unique, which is why we connect families with a wide range of treatment options. These may include:
- Individual or Family Therapy – One-on-one or group support to address emotional and behavioral concerns.
- Support Groups – Opportunities to connect with peers facing similar challenges.
- Medication Management – Oversight and adjustment of medications when needed.
- Mindfulness Practices – Techniques to help manage stress, anxiety and emotional regulation.
- Advanced Programs – Access to intensive outpatient or residential treatment for children requiring more in-depth care.
Team-Based Integrated Care
We take a collaborative approach to pediatric health — bringing together pediatricians, behavioral health professionals and families in one supportive setting. Some Core offices include Behavioral Health Counselors (BHCs) who provide short-term therapy to help children through immediate stressors or bridge care while connecting with a long-term community therapist.
Innovative Care Model in Stratham
Our Stratham location is piloting the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), which expands your child’s care team with a dedicated Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM). The BHCM works closely with you, your pediatrician, your child’s school and our consulting psychiatrist to coordinate care, monitor progress and provide recommendations for treatment or medication adjustments.
Connecting Families with Community Resources
For families seeking longer-term support, our Core Pediatrics team helps connect you with trusted behavioral health resources in the community. We are committed to ensuring every child has access to the care and support they need to thrive.
