Children age 6+, adolescents & families
When a child or teen is struggling with focus, worry, mood, sleep, or big feelings that will not settle, families often need a psychiatric team that will listen before they prescribe. Luminary Mind Wellness offers pediatric and adolescent psychiatric care in Colorado Springs with psychiatric nurse practitioners who treat young people as whole people—not a checklist of symptoms.
Luminary Mind Wellness sees patients ages 6 and up—children age 6+, adolescents, and adults. Kimberly Vialpando, Marianne, and Kristin Donaldson provide evaluation, medication management when it is appropriate, holistic support, and therapy referrals. Visits are available in person at our North Academy clinic and by telehealth across Colorado.
This page is general information about how we work with children, adolescents, and families. It is not a diagnosis or a substitute for an evaluation. If your child is in crisis or you are worried about safety, use local emergency services.
Care at Luminary Mind
Parents, caregivers, and adolescents reach out when school, sleep, mood, or attention has started to run the household—or when a prior diagnosis needs a new prescriber who will still talk with the family. We see patients ages 6 and up.
Pediatric psychiatry here is still psychiatric care: evaluation, a plan you understand, and follow-up. Kimberly, Marianne, and Kristin will ask enough to treat safely—history, sleep, mood, attention, other medical care, and what has already been tried—while leaving room for the child or teen to be part of the conversation at a pace that fits.
Medication can be an important tool for some young people. It is never the only thing we consider. We also talk about sleep, school demands, substance use when it is relevant, and whether supplements a family is already using might interact with a prescription. Therapy referrals are common; a prescriber and a therapist often work best as a pair.
The clinic sees patients ages 6 and up: children age 6+, adolescents, and adults. This page is for families looking for pediatric and adolescent care. Adult-focused condition and pathway pages are listed on our conditions hub.
