Adolescent Psychiatry

When your child needs help, the care, skill and assistance of an experienced adolescent psychiatrist can be critical.
Adolescents’ brains are still developing. Their mental health challenges are unique, and can be affected by learned behaviors and family dynamics. Through years of education and experience, I have found that a collaborative approach is the most effective treatment for adolescents. Important components of this collaborative approach can include individual and family therapy, education for the parents, and medication management. To receive the individualized support, all my adolescent patients are required to have their own individual therapist as well.
