You don’t have to navigate this alone. Support is available for your child and your family.
Starting psychiatric care for your child or teen can feel overwhelming. At ARMOR Behavioral Health, our goal is to create a supportive, collaborative experience where families feel heard, informed, and comfortable throughout the process.
Before Your Appointment
Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive intake paperwork through the patient portal. These forms help gather important background information about your child’s emotional, behavioral, medical, developmental, and family history.
Please complete all forms prior to your appointment so we can make the most of our time together.
Treatment Planning
Every child is different, and treatment recommendations are individualized based on your child’s needs and goals.
Treatment may include:
medication management
collaboration with therapists, speech/occupational therapists, or pediatricians
lifestyle and wellness support
parent guidance and education
discussion of sleep, nutrition, routines, and other factors that can impact mental health
Medication is never the only focus of care. The goal is to support your child’s overall emotional well-being, functioning, and long-term resilience.
What to Expect
Initial psychiatric evaluations are conducted virtually and typically last about 60 minutes.
During the appointment, we will discuss:
current concerns and symptoms
emotional and behavioral patterns
school and social functioning
medical and developmental history
sleep, routines, stressors, and overall wellness
previous treatment experiences
Parents and caregivers are an important part of the process and are encouraged to participate in appointments.
When you’re Ready, Support Is Here

But you do not have to navigate it alone.
At ARMOR Behavioral Health, care is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized for each child and family. We’ll meet you where you are and work together to help your child move toward greater confidence, stability, and emotional well-being.
