ABOUT US
We offer a comprehensive, resiliency & outcomes-focused approach to common developmental challenges. Our focus is to identify strengths, resources and barriers to overcome developmental challenges & define a specific treatment plan that has value to each child, family member and/or significant person who is in a caring and supportive role to the child. Recent advances in neuroscienceand the complex interaction between home, school, neighborhood and culture in which the child lives, guides the assessment and intervention process.
Using a resiliency focused approach, we strive to identify each child's unique emotional, social, behavioral and cultural experience and restore the balance of these experiences in the lives of each child and family we work with. Our goal is to address the emotional and/or behavioral condition, while respecting every family and school's cultural values, practices and expectations. Using proven treatment that combines available neuroscience, evidence-based practices and therapeutic intervention, our emphasis is to enhance each child's resources in order to explore opportunities for change to overcome adversity.
While many patients are treated without the need for medication, when medication is indicated, our doctors have 35+ years of experience utilizing psychiatric medications in a manner consistent with the child & family's values and needs.
Additionally, our clinic offers access to state of the art pharmacogenomic testing that allows for a more personalized approach to medication.
