Supporting your child's mental health just got easier! CHC offers child therapy & child psychiatric services and we're accepting new patients. If you're only looking for psychiatry and medication management, let your current child's therapist know we take outside referrals, and we don't have a waiting list - this means, your child can stay with their current therapist while our providers collaborate with them. CHC provides child therapy at each of our health centers, offers hybrid & virtual care therapy options and has a new Children's Behavioral Health Center on Water Street in Fitchburg, designed just for kids. Learn more about our services and become a new patient today. Sign-up online, call or come on into any of our health centers and ask for a new patient packet. Our friendly front office staff can set-up your first appointment. CHC also offers hybrid and virtual telehealth options. https://chcfhc.org/Behavioral-Health-Services
