Is A Psychiatrist Consultation Advisable For Anxiety Attacks In A Child?

My 5 year old grandson is having anxiety attacks several times a week. the attacks happen after he come back from visiting with his mother. he as the worth fit when she come to pick him up. Running away from her, hiding and sometimes getting out of his car seat. I feel we need to take him to a child pyscharist but because he is only five we can not find one to see him. What do you suggest?
