Children

What's troubling your child is nobody's fault.

Anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD are extremely common in children.

In today's world, where children face increasing pressures, it is crucial to address anxiety and mental health problems early on. These issues can significantly affect a young person's life and have lasting impacts into their adulthood. Up to 12% of children are affected by anxiety disorders, with symptoms often appearing in children as young as pre-school age. Our team of specialized child psychiatry providers is dedicated to providing age-appropriate treatment starting from the age of 5. We collaborate with schools, pediatricians, and other professionals to ensure comprehensive and effective care. We understand the importance of emotional health in children, and we are here to address common mental health issues that impact youth, such as childhood depression, social anxiety, phobias, separation anxiety, and adjustment problems related to school difficulties.

When they first brought their children to see me, virtually all parents thought that what was wrong with their children was their fault. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

When to seek treatment

By initiating treatment at the early onset of your child's symptoms, you enhance their chances of leading a healthy life and empower them to navigate life with greater ease.

  • My child avoids taking risks that other kids his age engage in.
  • My child won’t go to birthday parties and avoids social situations. She won’t speak to anyone outside the family.
  • My son’s anxiety seems to last longer than his friends. He is always worried and asking us for reassurance.
  • My middle school age daughter won’t sleep over at friend’s houses.
  • My child refuses to go to school for days at a time.
  • My child is much more active than his friends and he can’t pay attention in school.
  • My child is having difficulty sleeping. His normal sleep patterns have been totally disrupted.
  • My child has excessive fears and phobias of specific things like dogs, thunderstorms, insects, or getting sick.
  • My child’s behavior has changed; she seems less interested in activities she used to be into or less engaged with family and peers than before.
