Developmental and Behavioral Health

We offer consultative visits to address concerns in developmental and behavioral health areas such as developmental delays, depression, anxiety, learning disorders and other school problems. If there are concerns about your child experiencing any of these issues, our dedicated Developmental and Behavioral Health team offers in-house medical evaluations and follow-up care.

Our Developmental Pediatrics team specialize in the diagnosis and management of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and other developmental-behavioral health disorders. Our Mental Health counselors provide individualized counseling services to patients and families to manage emotional wellbeing.

Our Developmental and Behavioral Health team will continue to expand to help meet all of your child’s medical needs and can be reached at (813) 471-9709. We also maintain an updated list of community resources if your pediatrician feels care is needed that is outside of our scope of practice.
