What is psychiatry?

Frequently asked questions

Therapy offers a safe space where your child can meet with a licensed therapist to share their feelings, learn healthy coping skills, manage stress, and practice age-appropriate strategies to strengthen emotional well-being.

Psychiatry focuses on whether medication might be helpful for your child. Psychiatric providers are medical professionals who can evaluate symptoms, prescribe medications when appropriate, and check in regularly to make sure it’s working.

Both types of support can work together to help your child feel better — so whether you start with therapy, psychiatry, or both, we’re here for you every step of the way.

Yes! Our therapists and psychiatric providers work closely as a team to offer the very best care. With your permission, they share clinical notes so your child receives coordinated, whole-person support — without having to retell their story. 

Emora’s medication management is highly personalized and guided by the latest research and safe practices for your child’s age and needs. If medication is part of your care plan, our psychiatric providers may prescribe evidence-based, non-controlled medications like SSRIs, SNRIs, and non-habit-forming medications for anxiety, ADHD, depression, and more.

We do not prescribe controlled substances, including stimulants for ADHD, although we do prescribe safe alternatives when appropriate. If these are needed, we can help you find a trusted provider who is able to prescribe them.

We work with many insurance plans and also offer transparent self-pay options. During sign-up, our team will verify your benefits and walk you through any costs ahead of time. You can check to see if your insurance is covered at www.emorahealth.com/start

Absolutely – parents and/or guardians are welcome and encouraged to join sessions (and are asked to be present in all cases for the initial assessment for children under 18). The most effective child-oriented care involves the whole family.include parent check-ins, psychoeducation, and guidance as part of the treatment plan. We work with families as partners in care.
