Welcome to Lavender Haze Psychiatry & Wellness! I provide medication management for children, teens, and young adults, specializing in OCD, anxiety, and ADHD, with extensive experience working with neurodivergent children and young adults. I also help families navigate 504 Plans and IEPs. My approach is personalized and looks beyond medication alone, incorporating therapy, nutrition, physical activity, and supplements when helpful.
I understand how emotional and overwhelming it can feel to seek mental health care for you or your child. As both a provider and a parent to a child with autism, OCD, and PANS/PANDAS, I bring compassion, patience, and real-world understanding to my work. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where families feel heard and guided.
I provide virtual psychiatric services to patients throughout New York and New Jersey, with limited in-person appointments available in New Jersey.
Take the first step to help. Call or Melanie DeNardo now - (929) 368-5471
