All kids deserve the chance to feel like kids. For children with medically complex conditions, it’s not always easy. Atrium Health Levine Children’s can include a pediatric psychologist on your child’s care team for each step of the journey. For example, a pediatric psychologist can work to understand how your child is feeling emotionally and why they might face challenges at home or school. Then we help them find healthy ways to cope, so they can feel and be their very best.
Our program is growing, and we treat more children than ever before. Currently, we help families by providing support for children who may have one of these conditions:
Mental health and physical health go hand in hand. Here are a few ways children with medical conditions benefit from our psychology services:
We offer a post-doctoral training program in Pediatric Psychology at Atrium Health. The training program is primarily clinical, though provides opportunities for program development, supervision, and clinical research. Fellows are exposed to diverse training opportunities through work with patients impacted by medical illness and their families. The training program follows a scientist-practitioner model of training that supports the professional growth and development of fellows as they prepare for licensure and future careers in the field of pediatric psychology.
We also have openings for practicum placement for advanced graduate students in APA-accredited training programs. The practicum program provides students with an opportunity to further develop their knowledge-base, as well as gain experience in applying theory to practice in the medical setting.
