Supporting Children, Empowering Families

At Naples Behavioral Pediatric Therapy, Dr. Bhatia provides a range of services designed to help children, adolescents, and parents including:
 

• Comprehensive psychoeducational and psychological evaluations: Comprehensive, individualized evaluations help identify developmental, cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioral strengths and challenges; improve how parents, educators, physicians understand the child; and help the child to better understand themselves and how they learn best. The written report that follows can be used as a road map with recommendations for moving forward.
   

• Parenting Anxious Children:  A structured, evidenced-based program for parents of anxious children (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions; SPACE). This parent-focused program has been shown to be as effective as individual child-focused therapy for reducing child anxiety and OCD and, in some cases, is the only way some children may receive the support they need (e.g., if they are unable or unwilling to participate in individual therapy). SPACE Therapy is available in-person in Naples, Florida and online in PSYPACT states.
   

• Parent Consultation: Parent consultation meetings offer parents a warm, supportive space to discuss questions related to parenting and child development. Whether you are facing behavioral challenges or simply want guidance for your child’s development, these confidential meetings are tailored to your family’s unique needs. Dr. Bhatia’s compassionate approach helps strengthen family connections and brings greater balance and calm to your home. Your child does not have to be in individual or family therapy for you to be able to schedule parent meetings with Dr. Bhatia.
   

• Individual Child & Adolescent Therapy: Direct therapy sessions with children and teens, with parent collaboration as recommended in the treatment plan. Therapy helps children learn skills to better understand and manage anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment through life transitions, and more. Using age-appropriate and evidence-based approaches, Dr. Bhatia helps children and adolescents build the skills and resilience they need to meet their goals. Dr. Bhatia also helps established patients cope with the transition to college. 
   

• Educational workshops and trainings: Dr. Bhatia offers workshops and trainings on her areas of expertise, including topics related to supporting children and adolescents with anxiety across home and school.
