Services
Psychiatric Assessment
Our comprehensive psychiatric assessments diagnose conditions like ADHD, autism, and mood disorders through clinical interviews and evidence-based tools. Board-certified specialists create personalized treatment roadmaps while involving families in understanding diagnoses. This service establishes foundational insights for developing effective therapy and medication strategies tailored to each child's developmental needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Specialized CBT programs address anxiety, depression, and trauma by teaching practical coping skills. Therapists work with adolescents to reframe negative thought patterns while incorporating family sessions for behavioral reinforcement. This structured approach builds emotional resilience through weekly goal-setting and progress tracking across 8-12 week treatment cycles.
Medication Management
Board-certified psychiatrists provide careful medication evaluation and ongoing monitoring for conditions like bipolar disorder and pervasive developmental delays. Treatment combines genetic testing insights with regular bloodwork to optimize dosages while minimizing side effects. Spanish-language consultations ensure clear communication about medication benefits and risks.
Trauma Counseling
Specialized trauma-informed care addresses abuse-related mental health challenges through individual and group therapy sessions. Certified counselors employ EMDR techniques alongside creative arts therapy to process traumatic memories safely. Family participation components help rebuild trust and establish supportive home environments for sustained recovery.
LGBTQ+ Mental Health
Culturally competent mental health services support transgender and non-binary youth through identity exploration and gender dysphoria management. Therapists collaborate with endocrinologists for coordinated care while providing family education sessions. Treatment plans integrate social transition support with evidence-based interventions for anxiety and self-esteem challenges.
