Psychiatry Overview
At Clarity Clinic, we deliver compassionate care and expert medication management services for children, teens, and adults.
Are you looking for psychiatric support for your child, teen, or preteen? We know that treating a child is different from treating an adult.
Our Child Psychiatrists
Consider a child’s developmental stage when assessing symptoms and/or behavioral responses.
Understand how a child’s underdeveloped brain affects their social, emotional, and learning experiences.
Recognize that symptoms manifest themselves differently in children versus adults (i.e. depression in adults may look more like sadness, while in children can be anger and irritability).
Provide expertise in pediatric medication management as the dosage and treatment recommendations for children and adults vary.
Understand the unique role family plays in psychiatric care.

Your psychiatrist will then consider your treatment goals in light of your history to customize an individualized treatment plan. This may include prescription medication, lab testing, genetic testing through Genesight, and collaboration with other medical or psychiatric professionals.

Our psychiatrists conduct routine 30-minute follow-up sessions to provide continuity of care.

With the right treatment plan in place, your psychiatrist will support you on your journey of self-discovery and growth.
