We provide interdisciplinary and comprehensive psychiatric assessment, consultation and psychotherapy treatment to adults dealing with depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, adjustment and personality issues, general anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorders and others.

We work with patients and their families to recognize and support their strengths and help them strive towards well-being. Our goal is to improve the patient’s quality of life, prevent relapse and build on existing skills to maintain and preserve their mental health and well-being.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Pediatric Psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental disorders in children and adolescents which also involves the patient’s family in the treatment process.

It investigates the bio-psychosocial factors that influence the development and course of these psychiatric disorders and treatment responses to various interventions.

Children and adolescents could show their mental problems in different areas of life and in different ways. Some of them function well at home but have problems in school and with peers, some of them exhibit signs of anxiety or depression, others show aggression and anger signs when they are depressed or anxious. Trying to find relief they could have problems with substances or get in trouble with law.

As a parent, you may have difficulties with understanding your child’s issues and needs. Our Child and Adolescent Psychiatry service together with families helps young people with mental issues to function better at home and in school.
