No. While many families come to us through pediatrician referrals, you can schedule directly by calling our Tysons office or completing our online inquiry form. If your pediatrician has records or concerns to share, we're happy to coordinate with them (with your permission).

Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can diagnose, prescribe medication, and conduct comprehensive evaluations. Most initial evaluations at our Tyson clinic are performed by our psychiatric NPs.

Child psychologists hold doctoral degrees (PhD or PsyD) and are trained in psychological testing, assessment, and therapy.

All of our therapists are licensed, graduate-trained clinicians with extensive clinical experience, and have worked with hundreds of children and teens.

Most initial evaluations at our Tysons clinic are conducted by our experienced psychiatric nurse practitioners, who specialize in pediatric mental health and comprehensive diagnostic assessments. If specialized psychological testing is needed, our child psychologists are available to provide additional assessments.

It depends on your child's needs. Some families see significant improvement within 6-12 weeks. Others benefit from longer-term support, especially for complex or co-occurring conditions. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the initial evaluation and adjust as your child progresses. Our goal is always to equip your child with skills they can use independently, not keep them in therapy forever.

Yes. Many families work with us to get appropriate school accommodations through 504 plans or IEPs. Our evaluations provide documentation that can be shared with schools, and we can advocate for you with school counselors, teachers, or special education teams (with your permission) to ensure your child gets the support they need.

You are welcome to use the school district name in this answer, but don't guarantee we provide all the documentation needed to get a 504 or IEP as that varies by district

Our Tysons clinic includes psychiatric nurse practitioners who specialize in pediatric medication management. If medication is recommended, they'll explain options, answer your questions, and monitor your child closely. Many families appreciate that medication management happens in the same place as therapy, our providers coordinate so everyone is on the same page.

Yes. Blackbird Health serves children as young as 2 years old. For younger children, we use play-based assessment and therapy approaches that are developmentally appropriate and engaging.

You're not alone, many families come to us after unsuccessful experiences elsewhere. Often, therapy doesn't work because: (1) an underlying condition wasn't identified, (2) the approach wasn't right for the child, or (3) there wasn't coordination between providers. Our comprehensive evaluation uncovers what was missed, and our coordinated care team ensures all factors are addressed. That's why 85% of our patients see meaningful improvement.
