Child and adolescent psychiatry, therapy and testing

Up to age 21

A West Los Angeles group practice that offers children and adolescents psychiatric medication management, psychotherapy (including family therapy, play therapy, CBT, EMDR and OCD treatment) and psychological and neuropsychological testing. Treatment plans are tailored to the child and can combine therapy, medication and lifestyle changes, within an integrative mind and body approach. Testing covers attention, memory, executive functioning, reading, writing, math and IQ, and is used for ADHD, learning difficulty and dyslexia, social difficulties, behavior concerns, academic concerns and concussion; results can support 504 plans, IEPs and test accommodations. Visits are in person or by video. Aetna and Cigna are accepted for medication management and Aetna for psychotherapy, depending on the provider; others are seen out of network. Testing is out of network only, with a superbill and a cost estimate beforehand. Office hours are Monday to Thursday 7am to 8pm and Friday 9am to 5pm.
