Childhood & Adolescence
Thoughtful, relationship‑based care for children, teens, and families
-
Does your child feel like a stranger these days? Kids can hold back big feelings until they explode. Webster Clinic helps your child understand that these emotions be felt and understood instead of compressed and hidden.
-
Have a high performing high schooler that chokes before deadlines? We work on fear, pressure, and self-worth so performance isn’t the only story.
-
Is your family is having a big transition? Many families want to help bridge the gaps created by divorces, school changes, or even going off to college. At Webster Clinic, we help families slow down, understand decisions, and offer themselves the room to feel at the rate they can stand.
Is your child a mystery these days? Families come to Webster Clinic when short‑term fixes haven’t touched the real problems, and when broad expertise is necessary to navigate what’s ahead. Perfectionism, school stress, big feelings, or conflicts that keep looping can tie up kids and exhaust parents. Give you and your child the best chance for success. At Webster Clinic, we work with children and adolescents with relationship-based therapy, often bringing parents into the process so that mysteries are clearer and change lasts at home and at school. As therapists we can help sort out what’s typical and what’s concerning; as physicians we have medications that can assist if necessary. We start with a consultation, move at a pace your child and family can tolerate, and consider medication only when it supports lasting growth. Let our double-boarded, Harvard-trained psychiatrists get your child back on track at school, at home, and in their lives in deep, meaningful ways.
*Each of our clinicians are Harvard-trained child and adolescent psychiatrists and experts in their fields, with a rare combination of 5-6 years of training in child development, pediatrics, general psychiatry, general medicine, parent-guidance, school consultation, and psychotherapy after four years of medical school. We each bring special expertise and ample experience in working with BIPOC families, LGBTQIA+ families, and close work with pediatricians and schools. We offer close work towards lasting change.
FOR CHILDREN & ADOLESCENTS:
Making sense of shifts in behavior and changes at school. Taking weekly psychotherapy one step at a time.
Medication can be used only when indicated, and never as a stand-only quick med-check model.
Building a strong sense of who your child is so they can face anxious perfectionism, friendship struggles, and family transitions. Identity and belonging, as well as intersectional thinking is always on our mind.
FOR FAMILIES & SCHOOLS:
We explore how your family operates and how to connect to your kid better during these times of stress.
We don’t worry alone and nor should you. If there is something concerning, you’ll be the first to know.
Webster Clinic encourages connection with schools, teachers, administrators, and pediatricians when possible. Let’s give your child every chance for success and health.
