Medication
We believe in a holistic approach to treatment, where medication is used in combination with other behavioral and nutritional approaches. Our Mt. Sinai-trained child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists offer comprehensive evaluations and medication management for ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and other similarly challenging problems. Call us to schedule a consultation.
Testing
Our three hour comprehensive ADD/ADHD evaluation consists of a clinical interview, computer-based assessment and tests of executive functioning. Our child and adult psychologists also offer neuropsychological evaluations and assessments for students and those looking for accommodations on high stakes tests (SAT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, etc.). Take our short online Adult ADD quiz.
Social Skill Groups
Is your child bored of typical therapy or needs to improve social skills? Our groups for boys (Dragon Masters) and girls (Moon Dancers) are designed to be engaging and fun! We also have groups for tweens and teens looking for help with social skill deficits, peer rejection, anxiety, depression and ADHD. The groups are evidence-based and run by experienced child psychologists and art therapists.
