Philosophy
Emotional and behavioral problems are some of the most difficult challenges that patients and their families can face. At the same time, addressing those challenges can be a dizzying and complex process. You may feel lost and have critical questions:
- Why is my child, or why am I, feeling and behaving this way?
- How and when will I or my child get better?
The good news is that the scientific advances in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry have been significant and now many effective treatments exist. But simply providing treatment is not enough – it is crucial that you have a physician who will support you through every step of the diagnostic and treatment process.
The mission of The Main Line Center for the Family is to provide conscientious and state-of-the-art, patient-focused behavioral health care for children, adults, and families.
Our Value Proposition
- To practice in the most pharmacologically and diagnostically conservative way possible;
- To provide the best in evidence-based psychiatry to our patients;
- To use a “biopsychosocial” treatment approach, i.e., using not just medication but psychotherapy, education, and social development to effect change;
- To offer cognitive behavioral and ecosystemic family therapy;
- To provide care in which patients and their families have direct access to their physician, without the obstruction of intermediaries, when they need it;
- To practice cost-effective care that is time-limited whenever possible;
- To treat the most difficult cases and stop at nothing to drive recovery;
- To provide the highest level of “customer service” that our patients and their families have ever experienced.
