Washington University-Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Our physicians specialize in the assessment and care of children with serious and complex mental health conditions, who generally require comprehensive treatment planning in an academic medical center setting. We rely on and work closely with our partners in the community to help carry out many aspects of the treatment plans developed for our patients, especially those components of care that are more feasibly conducted outside of the university environment. Our community partners include primary care physicians, schools, mental health professionals in practice in the community, municipal mental health services, social service agencies, inpatient psychiatric units, and residential treatment centers.
