Children and adolescents have many challenges growing up today — social media, bullying, psychological trauma from events such as school shootings, anxiety, depression and many other stressors. The Center for Behavioral Health at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, provides comprehensive mental and behavioral guidance and treatment using evidence-based assessment, consultation and intervention.
Our team of psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropsychologists and developmental pediatricians help patients and families navigate a complex world. We collaborate closely with specialists in areas such as neurology, sports medicine, hematology-oncology and other disciplines to help patients and families track and address developmental issues, build coping skills where needed and develop education plans to meet each child’s needs.
Our specialists also lead and support colleagues in research activities to develop best practices to share throughout the region and the country.

Psychiatry
Our psychiatrists are medical doctors who treat mental health concerns in children and teens. They treat a variety of mental health problems, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, psychoses, eating disorders and behavioral problems, using a number of counseling techniques and sometimes prescription medication.
-
Psychology
Our clinical psychologists assess, diagnose and treat psychological and mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, coping with pain and trauma-induced stress. Our team works with both patients and families and specializes in areas such as pain management, Cancer & Blood Disorders Institute and sports psychology.
-
Neuropsychology
Our neuropsychologists use a series of tests to assess, diagnose and develop a treatment plan for neurocognitive disorders associated with brain-based conditions, such as a brain injury, stroke, late effects of cancer and epilepsy/seizures. Most of our neuropsychology patients come through a referral from a doctor, teacher, school psychologist or other professional due to changes in memory, attention, behavior, socialization, emotional control, learning difficulties, or other cognitive concerns following a medical condition such as a concussion, traumatic brain injury, stroke, seizures, epilepsy, or exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation.
