WHO DO WE SERVE? 

Our unique clinical program provides assessment and treatment for children and adolescents with the following disorders:

Neurological Disorders

Children with these disorders and their families are faced with the difficulty of dealing with life's everyday demands (work, school, friends), despite the impact of their disorder on functioning in these important domains.  We help children and their families understand how their disorder impacts their lives, how to deal with deficits due to the disorder, and how to explain this to others.

Psychosis

Psychosis is difficult to assess in childhood.  We diagnose and treat childhood psychoses, such as schizophrenia , and help children and their families deal with the impact of these disorders on their lives and functioning. 

HOW TO GET REFERRED?

  • Primary physician, pediatrician, or pediatric neurologist
     
  • Self-referral

WHAT WE DO:

  • An initial 2 hour Psychiatric Interview:
    1 hour with you and 1 hour with your child.
     
  • 1 hour feedback visit

  • When indicated, referral for additional testing (i.e. EEG, blood tests, educational testing, speech and language, neuropsychological testing, neuroimaging, etc.)
     
  • A variety of treatment approaches including medication, individual therapy, parent counseling, family therapy, etc.
