Treatment consists of a balanced approach, including medicines, behavioral advice, parenting strategies and school recommendations.  Special techniques such as biofeedback, hypnosis and relaxation training are recommended in selected cases. 

Our licensed psychologists and mental health counselors provide assessment and treatment, including individual and family therapy for emotional and behavioral problems. We tailor treatment to the patient and family, providing evidence-based therapies as appropriate: e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, and relationship-based therapy.
