To bring healing to patients, we believe in a collaborative effort that combines medication management, family-based interventions and individual therapy. Experienced psychiatrists work closely with psychologists, medical staff, even school administrators to give children and adolescents an integrated model of care.

We start with a full psychiatric evaluation. We consider the biological, psychological and social factors that play a role in the difficulties our patients are experiencing. Then we build a comprehensive treatment plan suited to each patient that addresses those core factors.

We also treat children with genetic, metabolic and other medical disorders with accompanying psychiatric symptoms.
