Approach

Comprehensive, Integrated Care for All Ages

We believe in providing empathic, personalized science-based treatments and supports. Our providers seek to accurately identify strengths, vulnerabilities, neurodiversity, and diagnoses. Our supports and treatments rely upon a thorough understanding of each individual’s medical and developmental history, and identified needs. They may include the integration of medication, neuromodulation (TMS, eTNS, tDCS, and others), comprehensive psychological testing, a range of supportive psychotherapies, expressive arts therapies, coaching, psychiatric genetics and pharmacogenetics, personal and family-based care, diet and supplements, and adequate sleep and reasonable exercise. Treatment and support plans are based on each individual’s needs.

Our practice is unique in its integration of traditional psychiatry and psychology, genetics, neuroscience, and holistic, whole-person approaches to care.

We help you achieve your treatment goals through our collaborative wellness model.

Our patient population is diverse, we are neurodiversity affirmative, and we are inclusive and welcoming to all. We know reaching out is not easy, and we are dedicated to creating the most helpful path towards wellness for each and every person and family.

We value your time, safety and convenience so we continue to offer telehealth services as we have for over a half a decade. Note, some of our services are not available through telehealth.

  • Working with your child.
    We integrate family support with early recognition of strengths and vulnerabilities, diagnosis when appropriate, and supportive care to promote long term success.
  • Working with your teen.
    We discern age-appropriate behaviors and emotions from clinical symptomatology to help facilitate positive communication, independence, and growth.
  • Working with adults.
    We optimize support and treatment through evidence-based care to improve overall quality of life.

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.
