Getting Started

Our evaluation process begins with two separate one-hour appointments—one with a parent or caregiver, and one with the child or teen. This structure helps us get a full picture of your child’s strengths, challenges, and needs.

• Parent appointments can be done conveniently over Zoom

• Patient appointments take place in person at our Chicago or Northbrook offices

After these meetings, your provider will create a tailored treatment plan and recommend the best path forward - whether that includes therapy, medication, or a combination of supports.

We offer in-person care in Chicago and Northbrook, and telehealth services across Illinois.
