Expanding access to child psychiatry without disrupting care.
At Community Health Connections, we believe that getting care your child needs shouldn't mean starting over.
Often organizations require children to become therapy patients within their system before they can receive medication management services. That can mean leaving a trusted therapist behind, right when consistency matters.
At CHC, we do things differently.
CHC proudly offers child and adolescent psychiatry services for both our patients and for children receiving care outside of CHC.
This means your child can stay with their current therapist while receiving expert psychiatric support from our team here at Community Health Connections. It's a collaborative, coordinated approach that puts a child's well-being first.
Why this matters? This model is truly a win-win!
- Children maintain trusted relationships with their therapists.
- Therapists gain a prescribing partner to support treatment plans.
- And families experience less disruption and fewer barriers to care.
Our dedicated psychiatry providers, Michaela Dumais, PMHNP and Heidi Kraft PMHNP, bring experience and a genuine passion for working with children, adolescents and teens. They specialize in thoughtful, compassionate medication management.
Both Michaela and Heidi are currently accepting referrals.
Our intake process is designed to be timely, responsive, and easy to navigate.
