What is child and adolescent psychiatry?
Child psychiatry is a branch of medical care focused on diagnosing and treating emotional, behavioral, and developmental conditions in children and adolescents. It includes clinical evaluation, diagnosis, medication management when appropriate, and coordination with therapy, school, and pediatric care.
Unlike general counseling, psychiatric care for children is provided by a licensed medical professional who can prescribe and manage medication as part of a broader, family-involved treatment plan. Many children benefit from combining psychiatric care with therapy for a more complete approach.
Conditions treated in child psychiatry range from common concerns like ADHD and anxiety to mood disorders, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and behavioral or trauma-related challenges.
When should your child see a psychiatric provider?
Your child doesn't need to be in crisis to benefit from an evaluation. Many families reach out when changes start affecting school, home life, or relationships. A consultation with our provider is the best way to determine whether child psychiatric care is right for your family.
- Trouble focusing, sitting still, or completing schoolwork
- Persistent worry, sadness, or irritability
- Sudden changes in behavior, sleep, or appetite
- Difficulty with social interaction or developmental milestones
- Big emotional reactions that feel hard to manage at home or school
- A first-time evaluation or a second opinion on an existing diagnosis

What patients say
4.9from 55 Google reviewsI initially went with a friend to help with translation, but learning that Dr. Nazira speaks several languages was a huge relief. I didn't have to share personal information about my son's condition with anyone else. Over the past three months, I've seen real improvements in my son's behavior.
He was diagnosed over the summer with ADHD and anxiety. She always listens to all of my concerns and takes the time to explain everything when I have questions. I was hesitant to put my child on medication and she listened while we formulated a plan of care for him. It has made a world of difference and I trust her recommendations.
Nazira is lovely! I do medical spa treatments here that have turned out amazing and she manages my daughter's mental health. 10/10
