We offer a variety of psychiatric, psychological and behavioral therapies. All of our programs are individualized and generally fall into individual, family, parent education, and group treatment. The clinic emphasizes use of short-term, problem-focused, and evidence-based interventions. Treatment with youth involves the active participation of parents, other family members, caregivers, educators, and others, as appropriate. Emphasis is placed on measurable success in attaining clinical goals, as defined through a collaborative process between you and the clinicians.
Please note that an initial in-person appointment is required to gather background information, medical history, current services, educational services, and overall treatment needs. After our meeting, we will determine how services can best be provided to you.
Please read through this list to identify if there are appropriate services for you and your child. Please email [email protected] with the patient's full name, date of birth, and the services you are interested in.
