Family Support

Our methodology involves working with the patient in an integrated and personalized way so that we can design a support plan that incorporates not just child therapy and medication, but also a roadmap for healthy habits for overall well-being. Research tells us that experiences in the formative years of childhood contribute to the foundation for a person’s mental health, because they shape the child’s developing brain. Childhood is a complex and vulnerable time, wherein many factors can influence emotional well-being and behavior, including genetics, neurodiversity, family situation, school, personal relationships, and trauma. In our practice, we look at family dynamics, history, genetics, habits, diet, medical diagnoses, brain differences, and overall health in helping determine the best treatment options for your child. We emphasize strengths, growth mindset, and self-compassion, as we seek to empower children. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care and support for your family, and to give you the skills and tools to confidently move through this stage of life.

Teenage years can be a tumultuous time for many. Our goal is to support your family by offering tools and coping strategies to help open the doors of communication and improve daily life. The teenage brain goes through some natural stages during maturation, and it can be difficult for a parent to discern normal adolescent behavior and neurodiversity from clinical diagnoses. Hormonal and physical changes can have an impact on mental health, as well as on overall happiness and calm. We will help you assess the need for habit and dietary changes, as well as the potential benefit of medical and psychological treatment strategies. Professional care can dramatically improve a teen’s life, helping them as they navigate the path to adulthood. Our methodology involves working with the patient in an integrated and personalized way so that we can design a support plan that incorporates not just teen therapy and medication, but also a roadmap for healthy habits for overall well-being.

Adult mental health can be influenced by a number of things, from current environment and relationships, to previous traumas or life events, to underlying medical conditions. It is estimated that 1 in 5 adults struggle with mental health problems every year, which is the equivalent to over 40 million Americans (source: mentalhealthamerica.net). Our practice uses an integrated approach to mental health. We understand that therapy and medication can be very helpful, as can exploring dietary choices, sleep, and physical activity. Our methodology involves working with the patient in an integrated and personalized way so that we can design a support plan that incorporates not just therapy and medication, but also a roadmap for healthy habits for overall well-being.
