A developmentally informed approach
Every evaluation begins with understanding the whole young person, not just a list of symptoms. We consider current concerns alongside developmental history, temperament, family context, school functioning and learning, sleep, medical history, social relationships, identity, strengths, and prior treatment.
Because we are trained as physicians first, we consider how medical conditions, medications, and other physical factors may be contributing to your child’s experience.
Parents and caregivers are valued partners and often provide essential context. At the same time, we honor each young person’s age-appropriate privacy and keep their own perspective at the center of the process.
Conditions and concerns we commonly treat:
Medication, families, and collaboration
Medication management
When medication is indicated, treatment decisions are individualized and made collaboratively with the patient and family, considering evidence, developmental stage, prior treatment, benefits, side effects, medical factors, and the broader treatment plan.
Working with families
Parents and caregivers can help clarify symptoms, monitor treatment response, support routines, and reduce patterns that unintentionally maintain distress. Family involvement is tailored to age, developmental needs, clinical circumstances, and privacy considerations.
Collaboration
With appropriate consent, we may collaborate with therapists, pediatricians, primary care clinicians, schools, and other supports when doing so improves continuity and treatment planning.
Support through transitions
Treatment can address transitions in school, identity, relationships, executive functioning, family roles, and preparation for adult healthcare.
