Why choose Cook Children’s for pediatric mind health?

Caring for children with neurological conditions isn’t only our superpower — it’s our passion. At the Jane and John Justin Institute for Mind Health – a collaboration with neurosciences, developmental pediatrics and behavioral health specialties, our team of experts work tirelessly to help kids overcome their challenges and become the very best they can be.

What you can expect

We've established a unique approach to care that includes:

Our neurosciences center is one of the largest and most respected in the Southwest. When you come to us, you’ll see a doctor who understands your child’s diagnosis. Many of our doctors are known nationally and even internationally for their knowledge and skills.

Your child's first step in care is a thorough evaluation. We listen to their story, perform an exam, and determine if neurodiagnostic testing is needed. Once we understand the cause of your child’s symptoms, we develop a treatment plan tailored just for them. Our ability to offer today's leading treatments is changing the outlook for many kids with neurological conditions.

Children with neurological disorders often need help from different specialists. Our experts work together to ensure a smooth experience for your family. At the Justin Institute, you’ll find ten departments all working closely together to care for your child's specific needs.

Our researchers are pushing the field of neurosciences forward with groundbreaking research. Families across the U.S. come to us for clinical trials of the latest therapies.

At Cook Children’s, we offer extra services to help your child and family along the way. Specialists in Child Life, social services, nutrition, pharmacy and medical devices are all on hand to provide support when needed.

When possible, we offer virtual visits so you can check in from the comfort of home. If your child needs in-person care, many of our services are available at the Justin Institute in Fort Worth, as well as at additional locations that may be more convenient for your family. We value our relationship with you and make it easy to reach us.

The more we learn about the illnesses, disorders and injuries that interrupt childhood, the more focused we can become on very specific treatments and, eventually, cures. Our specialty and subspecialty clinics afford us that opportunity. But more importantly, they bring the latest treatments and research to patients with rare conditions.

All of the clinics and programs here at the Jane and John Justin Institute for Mind Health at Cook Children's are led by our renowned neuroscience specialists. And, because our focus is on pediatric conditions, you can trust that from the age of zero into young adulthood, we are here for your child, and your family.
