what to expect from services at PMC

Our behavioral health services are designed to support your child’s participation, regulation, behavior, and overall well-being in everyday life—at home, in therapy, at school, and in the community. We use a play-based, relationship-focused approach, alongside practical, skill-building strategies informed by cognitive behavioral approaches. Together, these methods help children build meaningful skills while giving families tools they can use in real life.

session structure, length of treatment & integrated care model

holistic, interdisciplinary, play-based care with involvement from your child’s full care team:

behavioral health, caregivers, PT, OT, ST, and RD

Sessions are active, engaging, and often involve both the child and caregiver. Parent and caregiver involvement is a key part of this model, helping you confidently carry strategies into everyday routines.
