In January 2009, Dothan Pediatric Clinic introduced a team of behavioral and counseling professionals to help children and adolescents in the Wiregrass. The current team of mental health specialists serves children of all ages. Dr. Brent Tucker provides psychological evaluations, counseling, behavior modification, and treatment of many disorders occurring during childhood and adolescence. Our counselors provide counseling and behavior modification services to children and families.
Since creating it's Department of Behavioral and Counseling Services, Dothan Pediatric Clinic has provided help to children, adolescents, and families of various cultural backgrounds.
With the diversity of culture comes the diversity of personal need; both are taken into consideration when providing individual treatment. "our staff is dedicated to providing assessment and treatment for behavioral problems and counseling needs," states Dr. Tucker. "We are here to help children - from those having difficulty adjusting to life changes to those who have serious mental illness." The first step in helping a child is to conduct a thorough assessment to determine the exact nature of the problem. A complete assessment is important to ensure an accurate diagnosis. An incorrect diagnosis or oversight of a contributing factor can intensify the real problem and delay appropriate treatment and progress.
The professionals at Dothan Pediatric Clinic Behavioral and Counseling Services offer assessment and treatment for behavioral problems, ADHD, depression, anxiety, developmental delay, grief, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other problems faced by children and families.
Our behavioral and counseling professionals work under the assumption that all children can learn, grow, and thrive. Our goal is to help each one reach his or her full potential.
Appointments for behavioral and counseling services can be arranged by calling (334) 793-1881 or by talking with your Dothan Pediatric Clinic physician.
