Psychiatric Evaluation
Our comprehensive psychiatric evaluations identify neuropsychiatric disorders in children and adolescents through clinical interviews, behavioral observations, and standardized assessments. Our board-certified psychiatrists develop personalized treatment plans addressing conditions like ADHD, anxiety disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. This diagnostic process forms the foundation for evidence-based interventions combining therapy and medication management.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
We provide structured cognitive behavioral therapy sessions for treating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and behavioral issues in young patients. Our therapists help clients develop coping strategies through evidence-based techniques that modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach effectively addresses conditions like social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Qualified instructors guide participants through structured sessions that combine mindfulness practices with psychoeducation about stress response mechanisms. These evidence-based programs benefit individuals managing anxiety, chronic pain, or mood disorders.
