Pediatrics
At CLMPC, we specialize in pediatric care. We are highly trained in pediatric evidence-based evaluation and treatment. Additionally, CLMPC providers are experts at childhood behaviors and are experienced in determining the origin of difficulties. Because children cannot explain their symptoms fully, parents can trust that the CLMPC providers will perform a thorough evaluation to uncover the source of behavioral difficulties, whether a medical concern, adjustment difficulty, speech/language disorder, or underlying sensory disorder. Dr. Stokes and her team will provide appropriate evaluation, treatment, and resources for any psychological or psychiatric condition, while working closely with pediatricians and other specialists in order to make the appropriate referrals.
