When your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, or defiant behavior — it's not just hard for

evidence-based behavioral therapy, and careful medication management when needed — all in one

place, with a team that already knows your child and genuinely cares about their wellbeing.

We don't just treat the diagnosis — we treat the whole child. From CBT-focused treatment planning

and parent training to medication monitoring and coordination with therapists and schools, our

approach is integrated, personalized, and built around what your child actually needs. Whether it's their

first behavioral health concern or an ongoing condition that needs closer management, Fairway is the

team that stays with you — every step of the way.

What sets us apart

Behavioral Health and Primary

Care — Together Under One Roof

Most behavioral health providers in

West Covina, Diamond Bar, and

Chino are separate clinics with

long waitlists. At Fairway, your

child's pediatrician handles

behavioral health as part of their

overall care — no referrals to

strangers, no starting over, no

waiting months for an

appointment.

Medication Management Done

Right — Carefully and

Consistently

When medication is needed, we

don't just prescribe and disappear.

We monitor closely, adjust when

necessary, and make sure every

medication decision is made with

your child's full health picture in

mind.

We Work With Your Therapists

and Schools — Not Around Them

We actively coordinate with your

child's therapist, teachers, and

school counselors so everyone is

on the same page — because

behavioral health support works

best when the whole team is

aligned.

Behavioral Health Q&A

What is the role of medication in treating childhood anxiety and depression?

Medication is a tool used to help regulate brain chemistry and alleviate severe symptoms, making it easier for children to engage in and benefit from psychotherapy (counseling). For conditions like anxiety and depression, SSRIs are the most common initial prescription. These medications are not a cure, but rather a way to reduce emotional barriers so a child can learn new coping and behavioral skills in therapy.

How are disruptive behavior issues like Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) medically managed?

The most effective treatment for ODD is almost always Parent Management Training (PMT) or behavioral therapy, which teaches parents and children skills to manage conflict and encourage positive behaviors. Medication is not a primary treatment for ODD itself, but it may be prescribed if the child also has an underlying condition like ADHD or a mood disorder, as treating those conditions can significantly improve defiant and oppositional behaviors.

What steps are involved in initiating medical management for my child's behavioral health condition?

The first step is a comprehensive consultation with a healthcare provider who specializes in pediatric behavioral health. This typically includes a detailed medical and psychological history, followed by establishing a tailored treatment plan, which may involve prescribing and managing medication.

We understand that navigating behavioral health can be challenging. Fairway Children's Medical Group offers medical management services for a wide range of pediatric behavioral health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and OCD. Our experienced pediatric team provides initial assessment, careful prescription and monitoring of necessary medications, and coordination with behavioral therapists to offer your child complete, integrated care.
