Exclusively Focusing on Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

The whole-child approach in psychiatry, psychology, and therapy is a comprehensive and integrated way of assessing and treating mental health issues in children and adolescents. This approach takes into consideration the participant’s physical health, family environment, social context, and developmental level.

 

We combined the whole-child approach with our unique clinical protocols (below). We have found that this multifaceted approach is crucial in addressing the complex nature of mental health disorders in children, tweens, and adolescents today.

  • STAR (Specialized Treatment for Anxiety and Related Disorders) protocol:  for children and adolescents who struggle with OCD and complex anxieties. 
  • Dragonfly protocol: a developmentally specific PHP for children ages 6-10 who struggle with emotional and behavioral dysregulations.
  • School avoidance protocol: CBT-informed strategies (anxiety and mood management, parenting approaches, and family communication and problem-solving) to help children with school avoidance behavior. 
  • Mood disorders protocol:  utilized for Depressive disorders, Bipolar, and related disorders
  • CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality) protocol: for suicidal ideations and self-injurious behaviors. 
  • SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions): a family-based approach that involves training parents to provide emotional support and help their children manage their anxiety symptoms.

The Plena team identifies each participant’s unique and specific needs and creates a personalized treatment plan to help participants thrive. 

Our care team will assist your child in meeting goals such as developing coping skills, creating an individualized toolbox for long term success and building new foundations for sustained improvements.
