A mental health evaluation is the first step in recognizing what your child is going through. We talk with you and your child, ask questions, and use simple tools to learn more. This way, we can understand all the different parts of their life, including their emotions, actions, relationships, and overall health. We may use special tests to measure how your child’s brain works. These tests can help us diagnose autism, ADHD, learning differences. From there, we can make a diagnosis and create a care plan that’s right for them.
We weave mental fitness into everything we do at Ohana. The core idea of mental fitness is that mental health conditions are treatable and often preventable. Just like physical fitness, mental fitness grows stronger with regular care and practice.
We’ll help your child work on healthy mental fitness habits related to sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, exercise, and social connection. Our goal is to give them the mental health tools to use whenever they need them.
Having a baby is a life-changing experience — one filled with joy, but also with moments of uncertainty and doubt. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed as you navigate changes in your routines, relationships, and emotions. But you don’t have to go through it without support. Our perinatal mental health services help new moms through pregnancy and postpartum. We offer:
- Psychiatric care for mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression
- One-on-one therapy sessions
- Support groups with others who understand
Many children do well with regular outpatient visits to Ohana. After thoughtful evaluation, we’ll help find the best care approaches for your child. These may include:
- Family counseling and education
- Group therapy and opportunities for connection
- Medication and symptom management
- Occupational therapy to support everyday activities and development
- One-on-one therapy for tailored emotional support
We’ll pair you with a family care manager who will continue to offer support throughout your child’s time at Ohana. They’ll help you set up a case management session, schedule appointments, review progress, answer questions, and make sure everything is on track.
You’ll also receive a family road map. This easy-to-follow guide includes all the information you need in one place, such as:
- Family care manager’s contact information
- Scheduled appointments
- Suggested community and group resources
- Treatment recommendations
We host a variety of community classes, support groups, and events that cover topics related to mental fitness, parenting, and more.

Not every child processes their experiences through words or traditional treatments. For some, healing happens through movement, creativity, and connection. That’s why we offer holistic therapies in our higher levels of care, including:
- Art therapy
- Gardening Music therapy
- Nutrition support
- Occupational therapy
- Visits from therapy dogs
By engaging different senses and parts of the brain, we can help your child grow in ways that feel natural and meaningful to them.
