I work with clients between the ages of 10 and older who are struggling with mental health issues. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, bipolar disorder, or depression and trauma. Their struggles often cause them to feel lost and isolated on a daily basis. For my clients' healing journey to be successful, I recognize that they have specific needs. Personalized treatment plans that resonate with their experiences require comprehensive assessments to ensure accurate diagnoses. To achieve this, I create a safe, compassionate space where they can express their feelings.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
