Children & Adolescents

Integrative Psychiatry

Does your child have trouble dealing with their emotions?  Difficulty with their mood, focus, sleep, diet, excessive screen time? Is their behavior sometimes disruptive at school, at home and elsewhere? 

Have you tried different medications without success? Are you interested in reducing or discontinuing medication? Would you like to try complementary alternatives?

Our Integrative, functional approach focuses on identifying the root cause of the presenting issue to create a collaborative and holistic treatment plan. This plan may include therapy, complementary treatments, and only if necessary conservative medication treatment for a brief period.

Therapy + Coaching 

Therapy/Coaching offers children and adolescents a safe space to work through their thoughts and emotions. With the help of therapy/Coaching, children can resolve problems, modify behaviors, set goals, and make positive and lasting changes.

There are different types of psychotherapy available to children and families offering unique approaches and techniques to bring about positive outcomes. Sometimes one specific treatment, and other times a combination of various treatments is the best approach.

Therapy is not a quick fix to a child’s behavioral or emotional issues. It is instead a thoughtful and comprehensive process that provides children with insights and skills so that they may become masters of their thoughts and feelings. This, in essence, is how children develop into happy, healthy, and successful adults.

Parent-Child Interactions, Mindful Parenting & Launch issues.

As they grow, children and adolescents develop social skills and emotional intelligence. This awareness helps them develop into healthy, happy, and successful individuals. However, some children have trouble processing their emotions during their formative years leading to behavior that negatively impacts their school life, home life, transition to adulthood (adulting) and overall well-being. We discuss practical mindful parenting techniques to support you and your child through this essential period of growth.
