About

Depending on the patient’s age and presenting symptoms one of our therapists will be assigned to you to begin the three-part evaluation where a treatment plan will be developed in collaboration with the patient.

Our approach to treatment of patients is multi-dimensional. We focus on the complex interaction between biological, psychological and social issues affecting the patient. Though some symptoms can be treated with medication, our emphasis is on the integration of psychotherapeutic approach with medication used thoughtfully.

Treatment modalities for children and teens include individual psychotherapy, medication management and family therapy. Dr. Shapiro is an expert in the psychopharmacology (medication management) of psychiatric disorders.  He works in close collaboration with his therapists in treating children with these disorders.
