Reading Pediatrics

Betterview Counseling and Trauma Recovery and Reading Pediatrics have partnered to provide patients with high quality and accessible mental health care.

Reading Pediatrics patients (or their parents) with in-network insurance get priority status to receive outpatient counseling and therapeutic services.

At Betterview, we make enrolling in therapy as easy as 1-2-3! Most patients can receive an appointment in as little as a week.
