Psychiatric Services

At times, medication can be a useful addition to therapy. Psychiatric evaluations and follow-up medication management are only available to those children who are already participating in individual or family therapy at Austin Child Guidance Center (ACGC).  Once a child finishes therapy at ACGC, psychiatric services (including medication refills) are no longer available.

If a child continues to require medication after completing therapy, we will refer the child or family to their primary care physician or another psychiatrist in the community.
