What we offer
We offer group therapy for children, teens, and their parents.
Our specialty is helping kids with hyperactivity, impulsivity, arguing, losing their temper, or emotional outbursts. Many of the kids we see have one or more of the following diagnoses:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
Conduct Disorder (CD)
Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD)
Dr. Pelham is an expert in evidence-based parenting techniques and has worked with hundreds of children and families struggling with these problems.
As of March 2024, we are not currently enrolling new patients.
New groups will be starting in late May 2024 and a link to sign up will be posted in early May. Stay tuned!
