Before prescribing medications, dietary changes, or nutritional supplements, we will work together to determine the root causes of your child’s symptoms so that we know which treatments will most effectively address the problematic symptoms.
We look for the root causes of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and OCD as well as for symptoms such as sleep disturbances, irritability and anger, difficulty focusing or concentrating, hyperactivity, impulsivity, fatigue, and restlessness.
For children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as well as other neurobehavioral conditions like PANDAS and PANS, we enhance our root cause analysis with IntellxxDNA genomic testing.
After getting a comprehensive history, we will use targeted labs to identify factors that may be affecting your child’s overall health. These can be as simple as routine tests to look for iron deficiency to more complex genetic testing. We will work together to find the most cost-effective way to get tests done.
We will get a detailed history of your child’s past and current nutrition and determine if any diet alterations might help address root causes of your child’s issues. Though we will always aim to use real food to fill in gaps, there may be times when we will need to use dietary supplements.
Good sleep is critical to well-being. We will dig into what is and isn’t working and come up with a plan to hopefully get your child (and you!) sleeping better so that everyone feels rested.
Moving our bodies is not only important for physical health but is also vital to our mental health. We will assess your child’s physical activity and work together to create a plan that includes activities they love and enjoy and that work for your family.
We will assess factors that may be resulting in poor absorption of nutrients and work to improve gut health, which goes hand-in-hand with physical and emotional health.
This visit allows us to briefly discuss your child’s most problematic symptoms or issues and talk about what we might be able to do if we work together. Fee will be applied to initial consultation if you decide to proceed with the full consultation.
Up to 6 hours of dedicated physician time encompassing:
Payment plans and sliding scale available. Labs not included.
If desired, we can continue working together to monitor progress, conduct follow-up lab tests, and adjust the plan accordingly. (Note: lab expenses not included.) On average, resolving modifiable root causes of behavioral and mental health issues takes 6 to 12 months.

Nurturing Pediatrics is out-of-network for all insurers, meaning we do not handle insurance claims. This enables us to spend the necessary time to address the root causes of mental health disorders. You can use HSA and FSA cards, and we can issue a receipt for services if needed.
