Child/Adolescent Services
While I am not Board Certified Specialist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, I have accrued much practical experience in the treatment of this tender group. I emphasize psychotherapy in the treatment of children. Family therapy, in particular, is an important component of helping a child achieve remission from mental illness. Once it is clear that therapy alone has not achieved desired results, then I consider adding medication. I am experienced in the treatment of childhood conditions like ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s Disorder, Learning Disorders, Major Depression, OCD, ODD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Psychosomatic Disorders, Developmental Disorders, Enuresis, Encopresis, and Schizophrenia. I find myself often serving as an advocate for my young patients at schools, after school programs, and in legal situations.
