Child and adolescent psychiatry

Up to age 21 · $300/session

Child and adolescent psychiatry from a board-certified child psychiatrist who specializes in evaluating and treating young people with mental illness. Care includes medication management, including complex regimens with multiple medications, coordination with the child's primary care physician and clinical lab monitoring. Therapy is psychoanalytically oriented and draws on family systems therapy, play therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Supplement protocols are offered through Fullscript, alongside attention to sleep, diet and exercise. Evaluating a child takes an additional session with a parent or guardian, charged as a therapy session. All services are out-of-network: medication follow-up and therapy sessions are $300 each. The practice also sees adults, couples and families. The practice is virtual, and the physician speaks French, Spanish and Japanese.
