We understand how closely physical and mental health are connected. We will work with your medical providers.
We accept pediatric clients ages 6 and older. We also work with families and schools in addition to the child.
Our approach in pediatrics is "low and slow" and "nothing stays the same"
We encourage all clients to engage in some form of therapy when needed. Medication is utilized when therapy alone is not effective. Therapy is first line treatment for almost all mental health challenges.
Though we don't offer therapy sessions, talk therapy and psychoeducation are included in appointments.
We look forward to working with your therapist at any point!
Wellness through a biopsychosocial model
Mental health is influenced by work, family, friends, physical health, education and inner struggles.
It is our goal to help balance the influence of biology, psychology and everyday life with medication management specific to an individual's needs.

Wendy understands that medication is only a part of the picture within the biopsychosocial model of mental health.

She is a strong supporter of collaborative care and will work with other providers to maintain clients optimal health. As a prescriber Wendy takes on the role of consult and encourages clients to feel confident in their psychiatric care. She does this by asking questions, answering questions, and encouraging clients take the lead in their care.
