At Kindred Pediatric & Family Therapy, PLLC, we provide compassionate, individualized psychiatric medication management for children and adolescents in Wilson, North Carolina, serving families throughout Eastern North Carolina.
We believe pediatric mental health care should be collaborative, accessible, and centered around each child's unique needs. Our practice offers both psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management under one roof, allowing our clinicians to communicate, coordinate care, and develop individualized treatment plans that support each child's emotional, behavioral, and developmental well-being.
Our approach goes beyond simply prescribing medication. We prioritize thoughtful evaluations, ongoing monitoring, parent involvement, and meaningful conversations about treatment options.

What Can Pediatric Medication Management Help With?
Children and teens may benefit from psychiatric medication management when emotional, behavioral, or mental health symptoms interfere with daily life at home, at school, or in relationships.
Depending on each child's individual needs, medication management may be considered as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for concerns such as:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Childhood and adolescent anxiety
Depression and mood-related concerns
Emotional and behavioral regulation difficulties
Other mental health concerns requiring psychiatric evaluation
Medication is not always necessary or appropriate for every child. Our goal is to help families understand their options and make informed decisions about treatment, with ongoing support and monitoring when medication is prescribed.
