Pediatric Psychology in Dubai: Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Well-Being
Childhood is a time of growth, learning, and discovery—but some children face emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges along the way. At the Child Development Center (CDC) in Dubai, our pediatric psychology services provide compassionate, expert care to help children build resilience, confidence, and lifelong coping skills.
What Is Pediatric Psychology?
Pediatric psychology focuses on the mental, emotional, and behavioral health of children and adolescents. Our specialists work with families to address challenges like:
- Anxiety, stress, or depression
- ADHD, autism, or learning difficulties
- Behavioral issues at home or school
- Trauma, grief, or adjustment struggles
- Coping with chronic illness or medical procedures
Through evidence-based therapies, we help children understand their emotions, develop healthy habits, and thrive in daily life.

Why Is Pediatric Psychology Important in Dubai?
In a fast-paced, multicultural city like Dubai, children face unique pressures—academic expectations, social dynamics, and life transitions. Early support can:
- Prevent small struggles from becoming bigger challenges
- Build emotional resilience and self-confidence
- Improve family communication and relationships
At CDC, we offer:
- Comprehensive evaluations including ADOS, ADHD, Emotional and Behavior assessment and more!
- Personalized therapy plans tailored to your child’s needs
- Parent guidance to reinforce progress at home

How Can a Pediatric Psychologist Help Your Child?
Our approach is collaborative and child-centered. We help with:
For Children:
- Managing anxiety about school, friendships, or medical visits
- Developing coping strategies for stress or big emotions
- Improving social skills and self-esteem
- Adjusting to life changes (divorce, moving, new siblings)
For Parents:
- Understanding your child’s emotional needs
- Practical strategies to support behavior and communication

Therapies We Offer
We use play-based, engaging methods suited to each child’s age and needs:
Play Therapy
Younger children express themselves through play, helping them process feelings in a safe, supportive space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Teaches kids to reframe negative thoughts (e.g., “I can’t do this” → “I’ll try my best”). Great for anxiety or ADHD.
Speech & Language Therapy
Supports clear communication, social interaction, and confidence.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Helps with sensory processing, focus, and daily skills (e.g., handwriting, self-care).
