Trauma doesn’t choose its victims. Throughout my years treating patients across Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, I’ve seen how deeply trauma affects children, adolescents, and adults alike. Whether your child experienced a single frightening event or ongoing difficulties, I understand how helpless you feel watching them struggle. As a child psychiatrist and adolescent psychiatrist, I see trauma’s unique impact on developing minds every day.

My approach to treating trauma-related disorders goes beyond just managing symptoms. When families come to my Beverly Hills practice, I work to understand the whole person behind the trauma. Children process traumatic experiences differently from adults, which is why specialized pediatric care makes such a difference. I use evidence-based treatments like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, combined with careful medication management when needed. Each young patient receives individualized care that honors their developmental stage.

Recovery from PTSD and trauma-related disorders takes time, especially for children and teenagers. In my Los Angeles-area practice, I’ve learned that healing occurs best when families feel supported throughout the journey. I work closely with parents, providing education about trauma’s effects on the developing brain. Additionally, I collaborate with school counselors and other specialists to ensure your child has consistent support. Many Beverly Hills families appreciate this comprehensive approach that addresses home, school, and social environments.

What sets my trauma treatment apart is my commitment to walking alongside your family for as long as needed. Trauma recovery isn’t a linear process, and setbacks don’t mean failure. I’ve treated patients from all backgrounds, and I know that with the proper support, children and adolescents can not only heal but thrive. My goal is to help your child reconnect with their natural resilience while giving your family practical tools to support their ongoing mental wellness. Together, we’ll build a foundation for lasting healing.
