Pediatric Center of Behavioral Health
Getting Kids Back to the Best Thing Ever—Themselves
At Pine Rest, we’ve created something truly special—a healing space designed just for kids and teens with their involvement, where compassionate care and clinical excellence come together in a playful, treehouse-themed environment. We’re proud to offer Michigan families a full spectrum of behavioral health services tailored to the unique needs of children and adolescents. Whatever your child’s behavioral health challenge, our team is here to help—with warmth, expertise and a deep commitment to support the whole family.
A Canopy of Care
Under the welcoming canopy of our Pediatric Center is a full spectrum of behavioral health services designed to meet kids where they are. Our offerings are rooted in evidence-based practices and nurtured by compassionate professionals who understand the unique needs of young minds.
Spaces that Soothe, Inspire & Empower
Healing goes beyond clinical care—it’s woven into every space. Our center features vibrant, interactive environments that support emotional wellness, creativity and movement. Every square inch of our facility is designed to help children feel safe, supported and empowered—and to ensure families feel cared for at every step.
A Cozy Nest for Families
Families are essential partners in a child’s healing journey. That’s why we’ve included thoughtful amenities to support their comfort and well-being, including the Ronald McDonald House Family Room® with relaxing seating and workspaces, a peaceful chapel for reflection and spiritual care, and a welcoming cafeteria offering nutritious meals and snacks.
Your Child's Care Team
Care is provided by a dedicated team of pediatric behavioral health specialists—including psychiatrists,
psychologists, therapists, nurses, board-certified behavior analysts and many more—who bring both clinical excellence and heartfelt compassion to every interaction.
We’re also training and mentoring the next generation of behavioral health experts. Working together, our teams ensure each child receives personalized care that makes a lasting difference.
Specialty Care with Heart
We provide multiple levels of nurturing and expert care for kids with eating disorders, substance use disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders—including Autism Spectrum Disorder—through programs designed to help them grow and thrive. We also walk alongside and support their families, too.
