A careful clinical evaluation provides insight and clarity on developmental regulation concern. Diagnosis and treatment depend on a thorough understanding of your history, biology, and environment. We emphasize an evidence-based approach to finding sustainable relief.
Some individuals experience difficulty regulating their emotions, behavior, sensory experience, or attention as a result of how their nervous system is organized. This includes Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, sensory processing differences, and executive function deficits.
Evaluation is comprehensive and multi-informant, including developmental and medical history, multi-informant rating scales, behavioral observation, and neuropsychological testing when appropriate. Medical contributors to dysregulation are ruled out.
Non-medication strategies are the primary foundation of treatment, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, social skills training, adapted CBT, and executive function coaching.
Medication does not treat core autism or neurodevelopmental features but may address specific impairing co-occurring symptoms, such as irritability, severe ADHD symptoms, or co-occurring anxiety, with careful risk-benefit consideration.
Symptoms often intersect across domains. You may want to explore these related areas:
Understanding the complexities of attention and development, offering thoughtful clinical evaluation for ADHD, Autism Spectrum, and executive dysfunction.
Exploring the nuances of mood and emotional health, with thoughtful clinical evaluation for depression, bipolar-spectrum concerns, and emotional regulation.
Evidence-based strategies and thoughtful clinical evaluation for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, intrusive thoughts, and avoidant patterns.
Compassionate, trauma-informed care and medical evaluation for PTSD, chronic stress, burnout, adjustment difficulties, and sleep disruption.
Navigating diagnostic uncertainty, nuanced medication questions, and intersecting symptoms through deep, context-driven psychiatric evaluation.
Every clinician is a rigorously evaluated member of our team, ensuring your care meets the highest medical standards. Book an initial evaluation to step back, look at the big picture, and build a treatment plan based on clinical expertise.
