Consulting with Physicians, Educators, and Mental Health Providers
I enjoy collaborating with health service professionals and educators in order to provide the best care possible.
PEDIATRICIAN
I contact patients’ pediatricians to ensure that physical health issues have been ruled out as the cause for psychological concerns. I may inquire with the pediatrician about the possibility of referring your child to a sleep study, neurology, genetics specialist, dietician, rheumatology, PANDAS expert, and/or (more often) for lab work.
PRESCRIBING PHYSICIANS
Typically, when psychopathology reaches the threshold for requiring medicine, the best outcomes result from the combination of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology services. Thus, if I refer your child for psychopharmacology, we would likely be discussing the possibility of ongoing psychotherapy for your child.
SCHOOLS
I often work collaboratively with schools in order to best serve your child. I may have teachers complete questionnaires, I may observe your child at school, and I will consult with school staff.
REFERRAL AND COLLABORATION WITH OTHER MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS
If couples, family, or other psychotherapy services might be of benefit to your family, then I will refer you or your family for such services. I would also be happy to collaborate with other mental health providers treating your child or family.
