Anxiety Disorders for Children, Adolescents, and Adults

I understand how anxiety can control your life and your child’s daily experiences. As a psychiatrist serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles families, I’ve seen firsthand how anxiety affects children, adolescents, and adults differently. My approach combines deep empathy with evidence-based treatment methods. Whether your child struggles with separation anxiety, social phobias, or generalized worry, I create personalized treatment plans that address the root causes. Many Beverly Hills families find relief through my comprehensive care that includes both medication management and psychotherapy. I believe healing happens when we understand the whole person, not just symptoms.

My specialized training in children psychiatry and adolescent psychiatry allows me to recognize anxiety’s unique presentation across developmental stages. Young children might show anxiety through tantrums or clinginess, while teenagers often experience panic attacks or social withdrawal. I work closely with parents to identify triggers and develop coping strategies that work at home and school. My Beverly Hills practice offers same-day appointments for urgent anxiety concerns because I know waiting can make symptoms worse. Furthermore, I collaborate with teachers and school counselors throughout Los Angeles to ensure consistent support across all environments.

What sets my anxiety treatment apart is my integrative approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with medication management when appropriate, always discussing benefits and risks thoroughly with families. My experience treating patients from diverse backgrounds in Los Angeles has taught me that anxiety manifests differently in each person. I also incorporate family therapy sessions because anxiety affects entire households, not just individual patients. Additionally, I provide practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world situations that Beverly Hills families commonly face.

Choosing the right psychiatrist for anxiety treatment is crucial for your family’s healing journey. My commitment extends beyond individual sessions – I’m here through elementary years, teenage challenges, and young adult transitions. I understand the sleepless nights parents experience when their child suffers from anxiety disorders. My Beverly Hills office provides a safe space where both children and parents feel heard and supported. Most importantly, I view mental health as an ongoing partnership, not a quick fix. Together, we’ll build lasting strategies that help your family thrive through whatever challenges anxiety brings your way.
