Many mental disorders manifest themselves early in life. Effective early intervention - in childhood or adolescence, when appropriate - can help deflect the stigma, impaired relationships, poor self esteem and missed developmental milestones that could leave lifelong scars on impaired individuals.

At Chesapeake Psychological Services we recognize the value of educated and compassionate early intervention and work closely with parents, teachers and physicians to coordinate the care of children and adolescents. We do not view children as small versions of adults. Our treatment approaches include age-appropriate play and activity therapies geared to allowing children to express themselves in ways most comfortable for them.
