Behavioral Health

We believe care is ALL BETTER when it addresses all aspects of a child’s health.  At Wasatch Pediatrics, our integrated approach helps treat both the body and mind for your child’s optimal well-being.

That’s why we have an in-house team of multidisciplinary professionals, including therapists, pediatricians, and mental health specialists to help you.  Your pediatrician will work closely with you and your child to help lead your child’s care team and find the solutions & support you need.
