Pediatric Mental Health & Psychiatry
One in five children in our community faces mental health challenges. At Heartland Community Health Center and Panda Pediatrics, we are committed to providing high-quality, accessible mental health and psychiatry services for children and teens, and being a trusted resource for families seeking support.
Therapy
Our licensed therapists offer individual and family counseling to help children and teens manage emotions, navigate life changes, and build healthy relationships. We also offer play therapy, a developmentally appropriate tool that helps kids express feelings, process experiences, and build trust in a safe and supportive space.
Play therapy can be especially helpful for children coping with behavioral challenges, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and conduct disorders.
Psychiatry
Children experience mental health challenges differently than adults, and our approach reflects that. Our pediatric psychiatry services offer thoughtful diagnosis and medication management tailored to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Services are available at Heartland, Panda Pediatrics, and Bluestem Wellness.
We are proud to have Dr. Nick Evangelidis, voted the No. 1 psychiatrist in Best of Lawrence, leading our psychiatry team to ensure families receive compassionate, expert care.
