Child & Teen Psychiatry
Care for young people, with parents as partners.
Children and teens face real pressure: school, friendships, social media and big changes at home. When worry, sadness, attention problems or behavior changes start to get in the way, early help makes a difference. We provide child and adolescent psychiatry in Chicago and by telehealth across Illinois.
What we offer young people
- Developmentally informed evaluations: We talk with the young person and with parents, and review school input when it helps.
- Treatment for common concerns: ADHD, anxiety, depression, behavior challenges, trauma and sleep problems.
- Careful medication decisions: When medication is recommended, we explain why, start low and monitor closely.
- Family involvement: Parents get clear guidance on how to support progress at home.
Signs it may be time to reach out
- Changes in mood, sleep, appetite or friendships that last more than a few weeks
- Falling grades or trouble focusing at school
- Worry, panic or school avoidance
- Irritability, outbursts or withdrawal that worry you as a parent
Getting help early can change a young person's path. We make the first step easy for the whole family.
Getting started
Your first visit is a full evaluation with one of our psychiatric nurse practitioners. We listen to your story, review your history and current symptoms, and agree on a plan you understand before you leave. Visits are available in Chicago and by secure telehealth anywhere in Illinois, and follow-up appointments keep the plan on track as things change. You can request an appointment through our online booking page or call our office with any questions first.
