At our child and adolescent psychiatry facility, we address a wide range of mental health and developmental disorders that affect young people. Below are some of the psychiatric disorders we work with.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD affects a child’s ability to focus and control impulses, often leading to hyperactive behavioral issues. Our experienced adolescent psychiatrist helps individuals with a diagnosis of ADHD develop personalized treatment plans that may include behavioral therapies, medication management, and extra support at school.
Anxiety disorders in children and adolescents can lead to persistent worry and fear, often impacting daily routines and academic performance. We work closely with families to identify triggers and teach them and their children how to manage these symptoms.
Conduct disorder is a mental health condition that leads to disruptive, destructive, and antisocial behavior in many cases. It is typically diagnosed in young children or adolescents. The impact it can have on every aspect of their life is significant, as it can lead to serious trouble in school and with friends. It can even lead children to end up in the juvenile court system for their behavior.
Eating disorders involve unhealthy eating habits and distorted body image. This affects a child’s physical and mental health. Our goal is to help children restore a better relationship with their bodies and create a more understanding relationship with food.
Learning disorders can hinder academic progress by affecting reading, writing, or math skills. We work with educators and families to develop individualized strategies that help children overcome these challenges.
Mood disorders such as depression/major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder can lead to persistent sadness or erratic mood swings. Our experts in adolescent psychiatry work closely with patients and their families to create comprehensive treatment programs that address both immediate symptoms and the underlying causes of mood disorders.
OCD shows up as repetitive thoughts and behaviors that create significant distress. We offer behavioral therapies and adolescent psychiatrists to help manage these compulsions and improve overall functioning.
PTSD can occur after a traumatic experience, often childhood trauma, which can include sexual abuse, physical abuse, natural disasters, and other overwhelming and frightening situations. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, and other thoughts and behaviors that significantly impact a child’s life. Our pediatric psychiatry team helps children and their families work through these difficult times so they can get their life back on track.
Psychosis involves a disconnect from reality, sometimes manifesting as hallucinations or delusional thinking. We use careful diagnostic methods to help young patients manage these symptoms and stabilize their daily lives.
Although rare in children, schizophrenia in adolescents can lead to hallucinations, unusual beliefs, or disorganized behavior. [1] This makes it hard for young people to keep up with everyday activities like school and social interactions.

The goal is to help control symptoms so patients can focus on other aspects of their lives and engage in behavioral therapy and other treatments.
Psychotherapy allows children and young adults to discuss their fears and struggles within the broader context of child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health. The ultimate goal is to provide them with coping skills to deal with their disorder and teach them how to function better daily.

DBT is used to help young patients regulate their emotions and learn how to deal with stress in a healthier way. This therapy combines mindfulness with practical skills to manage intense feelings and improve interpersonal relationships. It helps children and adolescents experiencing mood disorders and impulsive behaviors.
CBT helps children and young adults recognize and change negative thought patterns that lead to emotional distress caused by their psychological issues. Patients willing to do the psychiatric work will learn better coping skills and how not to let their thoughts influence their behaviors as much.
