Do you/your child experience depression or anxiety that prevent you from feeling your best or living up to your potential? Does your child (or do you) find it hard to pay attention or act impulsively? Does your child have autism or emotional or behavioral problems? These issues can make life challenging, yet are often improved using natural methods. I practice holistic, integrative child, adolescent and adult psychiatry with the focus on finding and treating the underlying cause of each person's emotional and behavioral problems, often with natural methods rather than medications. NEW-online Scheduling available www.holisticchildpsychiatry.com
Treatments include: functional medicine, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle modifications, Neurofeedback, HeartMath, Hyperbaric Oxygen, FIR Sauna, Vielight, Stress Management, EFT, biomedical approaches. I use the Walsh Advanced Nutrient Therapy for Biochemical Imbalances. Psychiatric medication can be prescribed with planned gradual decreasing doses due to risk of serious side effects and limited benefit.
If you have gastrointestinal, thyroid, or hormone problems, infections, autoimmune disorders or toxin exposures, addressing these physical issues helps your mental health symptoms. These conditions can often be treated at Holistic Child Psychiatry. I help people of all ages with Autism, Attention Problems, Depression and Anxiety thrive and be happy.
