Our pediatric psychiatrists treat children and teens with a wide range of common and complex behavioral health concerns. Outpatient therapy and other services are available at our Psychiatry Clinic. For kids with emergent health issues, we have an Inpatient Pediatric Psychiatry Program at Missouri Psychiatric Center.

We provide the latest neuromodulation therapies like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment resistant mental health issues. Our team also offers esketamine nasal spray and other novel treatments. MU Health Care is the only center in central Missouri to offer many of these interventional psychiatric treatment options.

We provide forensic psychiatric evaluations for civil and criminal court cases. Evaluations are available with a referral from the court or an attorney.

For help with anxiety, depression or another mental health condition, you can get a referral from your primary care provider. Your behavioral health care team may include doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, occupational therapists and other specialists.

If your child or teen needs mental health support, reach out to your pediatrician for a referral.
