Conditions We Commonly Treat

At our practice, we support children, adolescents, and their families in understanding and managing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental conditions. Some of the common disorders and challenges we address include:

Pervasive Developmental Disorders

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – Characterized by differences in social communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests.

  • Childhood Disintegrative Disorder – A rare condition involving late-onset developmental delays in language, social function, and motor skills after a period of normal development.

  • Rett Syndrome – A genetic neurological disorder, primarily affecting girls, that causes severe cognitive and physical impairments after early development.

​Mood Disorders

  • Depression – Persistent sadness, loss of interest, low self-esteem, or irritability that affects daily functioning.

  • Bipolar Disorder – Involves alternating periods of depression and elevated mood (mania or hypomania), with changes in energy, sleep, and behavior.

Anxiety Disorders

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors done to reduce anxiety.

  • Phobias – Intense fear of specific objects or situations that may lead to avoidance and distress.

  • Social Anxiety Disorder – A fear of social or performance situations, leading to avoidance, isolation, or extreme self-consciousness.

​Psychotic Disorders

  • Schizophrenia – A chronic disorder involving hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and social withdrawal.

  • Bipolar Disorder with Psychotic Features – Some individuals may experience psychotic symptoms during mood episodes.

  • Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) – A rare condition involving the presence of two or more distinct identity states and memory gaps.

Behavioral Disorders

  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) – Marked by frequent defiance, irritability, and resistance to authority figures.

  • Conduct Disorder – More severe behaviors including aggression, rule-breaking, and violation of others’ rights.

Parent-Child Relational Issues

  • We work with families to strengthen attachment, improve communication, and resolve relational challenges between children and caregivers that may contribute to behavioral or emotional distress.

Eating Disorders

  • Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) – Conditions marked by unhealthy eating behaviors, preoccupations with weight or food, and medical risks.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Beyond diagnosis, we support families in understanding the child’s strengths and challenges, helping to coordinate interventions such as social skills training, speech therapy, or behavioral therapy.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • A common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning at school, home, or in peer relationships.
