At Avance Psychiatry, we work with youth (ages 6 -25 years) and their families to address and overcome emotional, cognitive, and behavioral problems. We understand how overwhelming it can be when your child is struggling — which is why we offer fast appointments, often within 1 week, so families don’t have to wait for the help they need.
Our team of psychiatrists evaluate and treat a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, tech addiction, mood changes, and school-related challenges. Every treatment plan is personalized to fit your child’s developmental stage, emotional maturity, and family environment.
We also work closely with the people who support your child every day. Our team collaborates with teachers, school counselors, and 504/IEP teams to ensure that school accommodations and mental health recommendations are all aligned. Parents receive clear communication, coordinated updates, and actionable guidance, so you always know how your child is progressing.
Informed by current research on medical treatments for behavioral problems in youth, Avance offers early interventions that can improve quality of life for both patient and family, enhance educational engagement, and prevent more serious problems later in life.
