Pediatric Services

At our practice, we care for children and teens with a wide range of mental‑health, developmental, nutritional, and complex medical needs. Families come to us when their child needs thoughtful, whole‑child support that looks beyond symptoms and focuses on healing, growth, and long‑term wellbeing.

We combine medical expertise, behavioral support, nutrition therapy, and integrative approaches to help children feel better, function better, and thrive.

 

Mental Health & Neurodevelopmental Care

We support children experiencing emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges, including:

  • PANS/PANDAS — sudden changes in mood, behavior, or school functioning

  • ADHD — attention, focus, impulsivity, and executive‑function challenges

  • OCD — intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder — communication, sensory, and developmental support

  • Mood disorders — irritability, emotional regulation, and behavioral shifts

  • Depression & Anxiety — worry, sadness, school avoidance, and social stress

  • ARFID — restrictive eating, sensory‑based food refusal, and nutritional concerns

 

Our approach is gentle, collaborative, and individualized. We work closely with families, schools, and other providers to create a plan that supports your child’s emotional and developmental needs.

Immune, Metabolic & Chronic Health Conditions

Many children experience chronic medical issues that affect their mood, energy, behavior, and daily functioning. We provide care for:

  • Chronic immune system challenges

  • Mitochondrial disorders

  • Lyme disease and tick‑borne illness

  • Post‑infectious inflammation

  • Fatigue, pain, and multisystem symptoms

 

We understand how these conditions overlap with mental health, nutrition, and development. Our integrative model helps fmilies navigate complex symptoms with clarity and confidence.

Eating, Nutrition & Gastrointestinal Support

Feeding and digestion play a major role in a child’s wellbeing. We offer support for:

  • Selective eating and sensory‑based feeding challenges

  • Food allergies

  • Gastrointestinal distress — constipation, reflux, abdominal pain, motility issues

  • Eating disorders

  • Nutrition strategies for chronic illness, mitochondrial dysfunction, and Lyme‑related inflammation

 

Our team blends nutrition therapy, behavioral feeding support, and medical evaluation to help children feel comfortable with food and improve digestive health.

Our Whole‑Child Approach

Children are complex and their care should be too. We bring together multiple disciplines to support the whole child:

  • Functional and integrative medicine

  • Behavioral and mental‑health support

  • Nutrition therapy

  • Sensory‑based and developmental interventions

  • Collaboration with specialists, schools, and families

  • Trauma‑informed, neurodiversity‑affirming care

This approach allows us to understand your child’s full story and create a plan that truly fits their needs.

What Families Can Expect

From your first visit, you’ll experience care that is thorough, compassionate, and centered around your child’s unique needs.

  • A detailed intake and history review

  • Clear explanations and collaborative goal‑setting

  • Individualized care plans

  • Ongoing communication and follow‑up

  • Coordination with outside providers, schools, and therapists

We’re here to support your child and your family, every step of the way.
