I work with children ages 3 to 17. Some arrive at the practice stressed, and managing transition or loss.  A few opt to remain in strength-focused primary prevention after symptoms have lifted.  Many of my patients manage childhood onset anxiety disorders, mood disorders, learning differences, autistic spectrum disorders, thought disorders, and behavioral problems.  Children in this practice represent a range of ethnic backgrounds and family compositions.
