Outpatient Services Child Anxiety

Our approach to child anxiety treatment blends several therapies designed to guide and comfort your child through the difficulties they are experiencing.

Get Help for Your Child's Anxiety

Serving Lebanon, Lancaster and Harrisburg

Childhood anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorder in children. According to a 2018 CDC report, approximately 4.4 million children ages 3-17 have diagnosed anxiety.

Your child is not alone in this.

As a parent, you're probably wondering if medication is needed, if therapy is enough, or maybe a mix of both is necessary. Our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your child that will help determine your child’s level of functioning and the best course of treatment.

Where To Get Help for Your Child

Anxiety treatment for children and teens ages 3-18 and is offered on an outpatient basis at WellSpan Philhaven locations in Lancaster, Lebanon, York, Adams, and Dauphin counties.

Our Approach to Therapy

Counselors are non-judgmental, objective, professional, experienced helpers who create a comfortable atmosphere for conversation. They want to listen, understand, and help your child during this difficult and frustrating time in their life.

The goal is to address the concerns and problems your child is experiencing and to create a plan that improves their state of mind and promotes hope, healing and wholeness.

WellSpan Philhaven counselors have degrees in psychiatry, social work and/or psychology.

Integrate Faith and Spirituality Into Treatment

We recognize that the body, mind and spirit are inseparable components of the whole person.

Our counselors provide patient-centered care that will value your family's faith and the role that it plays in your child's journey to healing and wholeness.

We have more than 30 clinicians, working through our Center for Spirituality Integrated Care program, who are committed to this integrated approach to mental health care.
