What We Treat

ADHD is a developmental condition of inattention and distractibility, with or without accompanying hyperactivity. This has now become a common problem in both children and adults. The disorder is being diagnosed more than ever before. ADHD may be characterized by excessive activity, impulsive behavior, difficulty concentrating, difficulty socializing or interacting with peers, and family or school performance problems. We can provide an extensive workup which may include psychological testing, evaluating current symptoms, and providing treatment with medication management and therapy. If you feel these symptoms prevent you from effectively living your daily life and completing essential tasks, call us for an appointment.

Our services are designed to assist your child, adolescent, and your family to understand and work together to achieve a happier, more fulfilling life.

OCD generates unhealthy levels of chronic anxiety triggered by repeated and obsessive feelings or thoughts. These thoughts create distress, apprehension, fear, or a need to act out specific things or compulsively follow habitual routines. When a person is stressed or tense these symptoms can worsen. This is also a disorder that increases with age. If you feel you might have a mild case of OCD, it might become worse over the coming years. Untreated, OCD can take over your life. Obtaining a diagnosis and treatment can help you feel in control and make your life more enjoyable.

Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic brain disorder that affects over two million people in the US each year. Usually beginning in young adulthood, this illness can cause distorted thoughts, hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and disorganized behavior. The symptoms vary in every case and increase in intensity with age. Whatever the symptoms, the unhealthy behaviors that result cause a profound disruption of the client’s life as well as the lives of those around them. A person suffering from Schizophrenia may have difficulty holding a job, keeping friends, and functioning in everyday society. We can help you understand the different causes of the disease, and outline the diagnoses and treatments available for those suffering from Schizophrenia.

People are affected by drugs in different ways and some are more prone than others to abuse/addiction. Dependence is when the body has a physical need for a specific chemical. This dependence will result over time in physical harm, behavioral issues, and damage to vital relationships.
