The Bluebird Difference

Where Expertise Meets Access

​

Welcome to Bluebird​

We are an interdisciplinary practice of pediatric behavioral health specialists who have expertise in child, adolescent, and young adult developmental processes and are passionate about supporting your family's wellbeing. We know that it can feel overwhelming for parents and caregivers to identify the best approach to care for their child's stress, sadness, and other adjustment challenges. You don't have to figure it out alone-our crew at Bluebird will have your back every step of the way. 

Our Approach​

Our treatment approach is strengths-based, tailored to your child's needs, and is grounded in research-proven techniques that result in meaningful and lasting change. We look forward to helping your child and family develop a personalized coping toolkit designed to foster resilience and serve your family for a lifetime.

We're Available When You Need Us

We offer concierge-level support that is tailored to your family's specific needs. Once your family is established with our clinic: 1) you never have to wait weeks to see us; 2) you can access same/next-day appointments for those times when your child is seeking extra support or you need time-sensitive parenting feedback; 3) we actively collaborate with your child's other healthcare providers so that you don't have to be the go-between; and 4) we are able to provide high level wraparound support (multiple appointments per week), when beneficial. 

We Meet You Where You're At--Literally​

Parents and kids are so busy--let's cut out the unnecessary commute to appointments and fit in the highest quality behavioral health care between extra curriculars, time with friends, work commitments, and all the other meaningful ways your family spends time. We will meet with you by virtual visits as "telehealth" allows us to be right where you need us.

Bluebird Is a Safe and Inclusive Space

We welcome individuals of all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
