Measurement-Based Care

At CHC, we’re committed to providing the best possible care for children, teens, and young adults. One of the ways we do this is by using Measurement-Based Care (MBC)—a proven, research-backed approach that helps us personalize treatment, track progress, and make sure every child is getting exactly what they need to thrive.

Better Care Backed by Data

Just like a doctor checks vital signs—like temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure—to monitor physical health, we use MBC to check-in on emotional and behavioral well-being.

We use short, research-backed questionnaires to better understand how things are going. These tools help us track important areas like mood, anxiety, attention, and daily functioning over time. That way, we can personalize care and make thoughtful adjustments based on what each individual needs most.

Why It Matters

Studies show that when clinicians use MBC, clients are more engaged in treatment, feel heard and understood, and make greater progress.* At CHC, we go beyond asking “how are things going?” and use real data to guide our treatment decisions.

That means we can:

With data guiding care, outcomes improve—and families feel more confident.

How It Works

Every care plan is personalized, but the process is structured and reliable.

1

Initial Assessment

Complete a brief set of questionnaires to help us understand your child’s symptoms, strengths, and needs.

2

Regular Check-ins

We send a secure link by text or email. A brief questionnaire is completed by the person who knows the client best:

  • Caregivers for younger kids (under 12)
  • Both caregivers and teens (ages 13–17)
  • Young adults themselves (18–25).

Use the Data to Inform Care

Our therapists and psychiatrists regularly review the results with you, allowing you to collaboratively make adjustments to care.

4

Track Growth Over Time

We track growth and share updates, so you can see how far your child has come.

Feel More Informed and Empowered

Families often tell us that MBC:

Builds trust in the process

Helps them feel confident that care is on track

Makes progress easier to see and celebrate

Encourages meaningful reflection

Strengthens their connection with the clinical team

When you can see the impact, it’s easier to stay engaged—and hopeful.

These tools are built into your child’s care at no extra charge. It’s one more way we combine clinical expertise with science-backed tools to provide better, more personalized care.

Interdisciplinary Care

All the Support You Need, All in One Place

When your child is struggling, it’s hard to know where to turn. Do they need therapy? Medication? An evaluation? Support with speech or motor skills? At CHC, you don’t have to figure it out alone—or bounce from one provider to another trying to piece together a plan. We bring the team to you.

The CHC Difference

Our expert team includes psychologists, neuropsychologists, therapists, social workers, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and educational specialists—all working under one roof.

Clinicians meet regularly to collaborate, consult, and coordinate care. We talk to each other, share insights, and look at the whole picture—not just one part—so we can provide support that fits your child from every angle.

If your child’s therapist has questions about speech or language, they can check in with a speech-language pathologist. If an occupational therapist notices signs of emotional distress, they can consult with a mental health expert.

This behind-the-scenes collaboration means your provider is always learning from the collective knowledge of the team—and your child benefits from care that’s more responsive and aligned with their needs.

Less Stress. More Support.​

We understand how overwhelming it can be to juggle multiple appointments, retell the same story, and coordinate care across different providers.

At CHC, you don’t have to do it alone. Our team stays connected behind the scenes—so you don’t have to manage all the moving parts yourself.

Real Collaboration. Better Outcomes.

This isn’t just our philosophy, it’s backed by research. Studies show that integrated, team-based care leads to better outcomes. When we combine our perspectives– emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and developmental—we build a fuller picture and create more personalized, effective support.

Interdisciplinary care isn’t just a buzzword at CHC. It’s how we work, every day. It’s how we help children, teens, and young adults thrive and families feel supported.
