What we treat

Focused care for ADHD and autism

Care is physician-led by a board-certified child psychiatrist, from the first evaluation through ongoing medication management.

ADHD

Thorough evaluation of attention, focus and impulsivity, followed by careful, evidence-based medication management and practical guidance for home and school.

Autism

Psychiatric care for autistic children and teens, including the anxiety, irritability, sleep and attention concerns that often come along with it.

Other concerns

Anxiety, depression, OCD and other mental health conditions, whether or not your child also has ADHD or autism.
