The symptoms of childhood mental disorders can appear differently than those in adults.
Undiagnosed mental disorders in children can affect the success of their academic performance and interpersonal relationships. A child's living environment plays a significant role in their overall mental wellness.
The mental health of primary care givers, and their ability to appropriately manage their own stress, has a direct effect on children.
Children are resilient. As the affected primary care giver improves with proper treatment, children are likewise positively impacted. Because childhood is a vulnerable period of development that often shapes who and how we will likely become as adults, children who measure their self-worth based on their identity in Christ Jesus are more likely to enjoy a stable adolescence and adulthood. |

Dr. Fortuchang carefully assesses whether a child's mental, emotional and/or behavioral problems stem from biological, environmental (situational) and/or spiritual causes when she conducts pediatric psychiatric evaluations.
Dr. Fortuchang's unique treatment approach is a highly effective balance between proven evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques and medication management (when appropriate), enriched with a Christian framework and a Biblical perspective. She believes in the importance of focusing on the mental wellness of her pediatric patients in entirety (mind, body, soul and spirit), in order to fully identify and address problems from the root. |

The Prayer of Salvation
The Bible says, "But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 That's the gift of salvation—the greatest gift of all!
How do we receive this gift? Romans 10:9-10 tells us, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." When we surrender our lives to Him, the result is peace, freedom from condemnation, joy, hope, and connection with God for eternity!
If you've never accepted the love and forgiveness that Jesus has to offer, there's no better time than now. I'm not talking about becoming religious and trying to be good enough; I'm talking about having a relationship with the Creator of the universe through His Son, Jesus Christ. It's so simple.

Just pray this prayer from your heart:
"Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and I need a savior. I believe You are the Son of God, that You died, paying the price for my sins, and rose again. I ask You to come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior."
"Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and I need a savior. I believe You are the Son of God, that You died, paying the price for my sins, and rose again. I ask You to come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior."
