The No. 1 thing Dr. Chelsey McCabe, MD, a psychologist in the Children’s Psychiatry Clinic at OCH, always likes to tell parents is that children often don’t express the emotions that they’re feeling in a way that’s easily recognizable.

OCH’s team of therapists, social workers and psychologists work with parents and children – ranging from 12 months to 20 years old – to form a treatment plan for those who may be struggling with behavioral health and mental health.
