Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD)

ADHD, also known as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is a common condition affecting approximately 11% of children and adolescents. It can significantly impact a child's life, affecting their ability to focus, behave, and pay attention. Our practice offers comprehensive treatment plans for ADHD, including medication management and behavioral therapy, to help children and teenagers manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Depression

Depression is a serious mental health condition that can affect a child's life in numerous ways, including appetite, sleep patterns, relationships, behavior, and academic performance. Dr. Skelton works closely with parents and caregivers to develop personalized treatment plans that address the specific needs of each child. These plans may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both, to help children and teenagers overcome depression and lead healthier lives.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are common in children and teenagers, often triggered by significant life changes or stressful events. Dr. Skelton provides a safe and supportive environment for young patients to discuss their feelings and concerns. She works with each patient to develop coping strategies and treatment plans that help manage anxiety and promote mental health and wellness.
