First Behavioral Health Consult
Our practice has developed a process for appropriate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning regarding presenting emotional and psychiatric needs of our patients through our First Behavioral Health Consult, or “FBC” process.
This is an extended visit with a Peak Pediatrics Physician to address patients’ emotional and behavioral health needs, such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, school difficulties, and social, or developmental concerns. Our Providers will guide you in the right direction for treatment and access to evidence-based services, such as therapies and medication management.
