The right specialist
The right care
Right now
With a well-rounded group of specialists, we have the expertise to help with virtually any issue your child may be facing. Rest assured, that when you contact us, we will connect you with the therapist who has experience with your child’s specific challenges.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL TALK THERAPY
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps children of all ages change the way they manage their thoughts, behavior and feelings. Therapy is based on the premise that these thoughts, emotions and behaviors are interconnected. We help to empower your child with specific coping skills to choose positive thoughts and behaviors to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy is also effective in helping your child manage stressful life situations such as death or divorce.
PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION
Many behavioral and mental disorders require an approach that is a combination of medication and therapy. Medication improves the symptoms of the disorder as well as your child’s daily functioning, while therapy helps them build the tools to cope with it. For some disorders related to brain chemical imbalance, medication may be a key component of your child or adolescent’s successful behavioral and mental health therapy.
FAMILY COUNSELING
Family counseling is also available – and encouraged – as everyone is affected when a brother or sister struggles. We also offer parent coaching sessions, so that caregivers can learn the skills necessary to help their child beyond the therapy sessions.
Appointments are usually available the same day. And, of course, we are always available by text, chat, and email.
You’re only one call away from an out of office experience.
WHY TELEHEALTH
At Youme, we based our practice on telehealth, because we believe it works best for children and their families. Here’s why.
It helps you feel more comfortable. Because we can conduct your session from the comfort of your home, you’ll feel more relaxed, which makes it easier to open up and talk. That goes a long way in successfully treating behavioral and mental issues.
It removes the stigma. Many adolescents fear that their friends will find out they go to therapy, and for most, that can be embarrassing. With telehealth, we eliminate this barrier.
It makes it easier to make and keep appointments. With telehealth, sessions can take place outside of normal business hours, kids don’t have to miss school or other important activities. And because there’s no commute, you don’t have to carve out several hours of your day to make the appointment. Because of this, we’ve found fewer patients cancel, which is good for the continuity of care.
It’s how kids like to communicate. The younger generations have grown up with technology. They’re attached to their phones. With telehealth, it’s just like talking with a friend.
It allows for a real team approach. Telehealth enables family members, teachers and other providers to be involved directly in a child’s care.

FAMILY COUNSELING
When one child struggles, other members of the family may be struggling, too. Group sessions allow us to uncover any underlying issues within the family structure and address them in real time. We’ve found that when a family talks together, a family heals faster together. Family counseling is available throughout the state of Maryland. Sessions last 60 minutes. SCHEDULE A FAMILY SESSION

WELLNESS VISITS
Your children get a physical check up every year. They should also get a mental health check up, too.
