Child & Adolescent Psychologist

EMC Hospital's Child and Adolescent Psychologists are professionals with specialized competencies in understanding, assessing, and supporting the psychological, emotional, social, behavioral, and learning development of children and adolescents. This service aims to help children and adolescents grow healthily, adapt to their environment, manage their emotions effectively, and achieve optimal developmental potential for their age.

Before determining the type of support, EMC Hospital's Child and Adolescent Psychologists will conduct a comprehensive assessment through interviews with parents and children, behavioral observations, the use of psychological testing tools, and evaluations of development, emotions, and learning abilities, as needed. The assessment results help the psychologist understand the child's condition comprehensively and develop an appropriate and individualized intervention plan.

At EMC Hospital, the Child and Adolescent Psychology service addresses a variety of conditions, including learning difficulties, attention and concentration disorders, behavioral problems, tantrums, anxiety, excessive fear, stress, adolescent depression, low self-esteem, bullying, psychological trauma, social difficulties, emotional regulation disorders, and adjustment issues at home and school. Psychologists also provide support for children with special developmental needs and help parents understand their children's psychological needs.

EMC Hospital's Child and Adolescent Psychology services include child and adolescent counseling, personalized psychological therapy, developmental assessments, intelligence and learning ability tests, interest and aptitude tests, school readiness assessments, behavioral counseling, and parenting consultations. The approach is tailored to the child's age and characteristics, provided in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

This service is supported by collaboration with pediatricians, child and adolescent psychiatrists, child neurologists, medical rehabilitation specialists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, and other professionals as needed. With a multidisciplinary approach, EMC Hospital is committed to providing comprehensive support to support the mental health and development of children and adolescents.

Consult a Child and Adolescent Psychologist at EMC Hospital immediately if your child or adolescent experiences persistent behavioral changes, learning difficulties, difficulty concentrating, irritability, social withdrawal, frequent anxiety or sadness, bullying, trauma, emotional sleep disorders, or other issues that affect their development and daily activities. Early support can help improve children's and adolescents' adaptive abilities, mental health, social relationships, and optimal quality of life.
