Children are not small adults. Their care has to account for growth, family and school. Mindful Sewa Psychiatry provides child and adolescent psychiatric care by telehealth across California for ADHD, anxiety, depression and behavior concerns.
Parents are partners here. You take part in every evaluation and every treatment decision, and nothing starts without your consent.
When a young person is struggling, the whole family feels it. Grades slip, mornings turn into battles and parents lie awake with worry. Looking for a child psychiatrist online in California is often the moment a family decides to stop guessing and get a clear view of what is going on.
Harpal Singh, PMHNP-BC, provides telehealth care for young people and their families across California. Visits happen from home, where kids and teens tend to feel more at ease. Parents can speak in English, Punjabi, Hindi or Spanish, which helps when grandparents or other relatives are part of daily care.
How Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Works
- Call or Book Online. Call (888) 457-8124 or book through IntakeQ. Ask about fit, including your child's age, before your visit.
- Complete Parent and School Forms. Parents fill out history forms, and teacher rating scales may be requested. These add details a single visit cannot show.
- Family Evaluation by Video. The evaluation includes the parent and the young person, with private time for teens. It takes about 60 minutes and is $250.
- Build a Family Plan. You get a written plan that may include therapy, school supports, testing or medicine. Parents give consent before anything starts.
- Regular Follow-Ups. Follow-up visits track school, sleep, appetite and mood. They are $199 each.
Conditions We Treat in Young People
We see young people for ADHD, anxiety and depression, as well as OCD, sleep problems, school refusal, school stress, trouble adjusting to change and behavior concerns. Teen evaluations also include private screening for substance use and self-harm.
How Visits Work for Kids and Teens
Parents join the first evaluation. For teens, part of each visit is one-on-one to build trust. Young children are often more at ease in their own home, which is a quiet benefit of telehealth. Parent and teacher rating scales round out the picture.
Careful Medication Decisions
If medicine is suggested, parents get a plain-language briefing on benefits, side effects and other options. Nothing starts without your understanding and consent. Growth, sleep, appetite and mood are checked at every follow-up.
Signs a Young Person May Need an Evaluation
Some changes are part of growing up. Others last longer and get in the way. Watch for ongoing sadness, worry or anger, pulling away from friends, big changes in sleep or appetite and falling grades. Trouble focusing at both home and school may point toward ADHD in children and teens.
Any talk of self-harm or suicide needs help right away. If a young person is thinking about harming themselves, call or text 988, or call 911. An evaluation can come after they are safe.
How Parents Can Help the Visit Go Well
Set up a quiet, private room with a charged device and good lighting. Tell your child the visit is a talk, not a test, and that no one is in trouble. For teens, explain that they will have time to speak alone.
Bring notes on when problems started, what has helped and any report cards or school notes. Share family history of mental health conditions if you know it. These details help the plan fit your child, not just the symptoms.
How School and Home Fit Together
Kids spend much of their day at school, so teachers see things parents may not. Rating scales from a teacher can show whether focus, mood or behavior problems happen in more than one place. That is an important part of an accurate picture.
With your consent, clinical letters can support a 504 plan or IEP request. At home, small changes like steady sleep times, less screen time at night and clear routines often help. The plan looks at school and home together so a young person gets the same support in both places.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages do you see?
We care for children, teens, adults and seniors. If you are not sure whether your child is a good fit for telehealth care, call (888) 457-8124 before you book. We are happy to talk it through.
Will my teen's visits be private?
Teens get private one-on-one time, which is key to honest care. Parents stay informed about diagnoses, treatment plans and any safety concerns. We explain these limits to everyone at the start.
Do you work with schools?
Yes. We provide letters that support 504 plans and IEPs. With your consent, we can also talk with school staff.
My child refuses to go to appointments. Will telehealth help?
Often, yes. Taking away the car ride and the waiting room removes much of the struggle. Many kids engage better from their own room.
Does my teen have to agree to come to the visit?
It helps a lot when a teen is willing, even if they are unsure. Parents can share concerns before the visit, and many teens relax once they see it is just a conversation. A reluctant teen is still welcome.
Can you do ADHD testing for my teen?
Creyos ADHD testing is available for $150 when clinically appropriate. It is one tool among many and is used alongside the interview and rating scales. It does not replace a full evaluation.
Can both parents join from different homes?
Ask about this when you book. Both parents taking part is welcome and often helpful, especially when parents share custody. Custody papers may be needed so consent is clear.
Will my teen's school know they are being seen?
Not unless you choose to tell them. With your consent, letters or updates can be shared to support school plans. Otherwise, care stays private.
