Whole-Child Care

Tamalpais Pediatrics cares deeply about the health and well-being of all families. While some may think that this means physical health, in our practice we take a whole-child approach. This means caring for both the mental and physical well-being of children and families.

We hope to raise awareness around mental health and help families determine how they can stay healthy and where they can begin to heal. Over the past few years, conversations around and knowledge of mental health have been increasing, but many misconceptions still exist. This article provides basic information about what therapy is and what to expect from treatment.
