The Benefits of an Expert Team

Our team consists of experienced psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, as well as collaborating psychologists and other mental health therapists who specialize in working with teenagers. We stay up-to-date with the latest research and treatment options to provide the highest level of care. We are conservative in our treatment decisions, relying on evidence-based, clinically validated assessment and treatment options. For these reasons, you can trust that we won’t recommend the latest mental health fad that has yet to demonstrate its value through scientific research.

Understanding Adolescent Mental Health

Teenagers face a whirlwind of emotions, changes, and challenges. Hormones, peer pressure, academic stress, and social dynamics can all contribute to mental health issues. Our experienced team of professionals understands these unique challenges and is dedicated to providing the support your teenager needs.
