Depression and Other Mood Disorders For Children, Adolescents, and Adults

I understand how overwhelming depression can feel. When your child withdraws from family activities or your teenager seems lost in sadness, I’m here to help. As a Beverly Hills psychiatrist specializing in children psychiatry and adolescent psychiatry, I’ve walked alongside countless families through these dark moments. Depression affects young minds differently than adults, requiring specialized care that I provide throughout Los Angeles.

My approach combines evidence-based treatments with genuine compassion. I treat depression, bipolar disorder, and mood disorders using personalized therapy and careful medication management. Whether your child faces persistent sadness, mood swings, or behavioral changes, I create safe spaces for healing. Many Beverly Hills families discover that early intervention makes all the difference. Furthermore, I work closely with parents to develop home strategies that support recovery.

What makes my practice unique is my comprehensive understanding of childhood development. I treat each young patient as a whole person, not just symptoms. My training in children psychiatry allows me to recognize how depression manifests differently across ages. Additionally, I coordinate care with schools and therapists throughout Los Angeles to ensure consistent support. Parents often tell me they feel heard and understood for the first time.

I’m committed to helping your family find hope again. My Beverly Hills office offers a comfortable environment where children and adolescents can safely express their feelings. Through expertise in adolescent psychiatry and family-centered care, I help restore joy and connection. Together, we’ll develop coping skills that last a lifetime. Most importantly, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
