Answer

Depending on your insurance status there are lots of services out there for you. If you have private insurance, contact them and obtain a list of participating providers and go from there. If you have Medi-Cal or public aid there should be county mental health agencies that can help you. Check with your child's school and see if they can refer your child. In california, children's mental health agencies work with schools and provide services there. Assistance and laws differ according to the state you live in, but there are agencies out there. Check your phone book and contact mental health clinics or hospitals and ask about community referrals. There is always your family doctor who could refer you for mental health services. Good luck to you and I wish you the best.
