Evaluation

Psychiatric evaluation is a complex process. Many children, and adolescents have worked with a wide variety of providers prior to seeing a psychiatrist. Information critical to understanding a particular problem can come from the patient, parents, pediatricians, psychologists, educational specialists, developmental specialists, physical and occupational therapists, teachers, friends, and other resources. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Osborn strives to incorporate the medical, psychological, developmental, and social aspects that influence his patients’ lives PRIOR to arriving at a diagnosis. Sometimes a family chooses to seek evaluation only for consultation, other times more ongoing treatment is indicated.

Treatment

Psychiatric treatment can likewise be complex, and every person and family is different. Social and behavioral treatments are nearly universal, and some children can be benefited by the use of medications. Psychiatric medications are powerful and effective, and generally well-tolerated, but can carry risks of sometimes serious side-effects. If medications are part of a patient’s treatment, ongoing monitoring and management is crucial.

Collaborative Mental Health

At Cascade Child and Family Center, we know that life can bring challenges—sometimes big, sometimes small—that feel hard to face alone. Whether you or your child are navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), autism, or bipolar disorder, we’re here to help. We believe every person is more than their struggles, and our first priority is building a trusting, supportive relationship with you through individual therapy.

Our therapists bring compassion, curiosity, and skill to every session, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Play Therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). We take time to truly understand your story, then work alongside you to create a path toward healing and growth that fits your unique needs.

For families, we offer family therapy designed to strengthen connections, improve communication, and foster healthier dynamics. This can be especially helpful for families navigating foster care, adoption, or mental health challenges. Using a strengths-based approach, we collaborate with your family to create a plan that supports everyone involved. We also provide group therapy, a safe and encouraging space where young people can connect with peers who “get it,” build social skills, practice communication, and form meaningful relationships. Our current offerings include youth social skills groups, and we’re excited to be expanding our group programs soon.
