David Z. Ritvo MD

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Physician

Summary

I provide comprehensive outpatient psychiatric evaluation and treatment services - including psychotherapy and psychopharmacology - for children, adolescents and adults. I keep an open mind, helping you find the treatment that works best for you rather than being wedded to any particular theory or modality of treatment. If you already have a therapist and need an evaluation for medication, I will work in close collaboration with your therapist to coordinate the evaluation and any subsequent care. If you are a parent looking for help with your child, in addition to seeing your child, I will advise you regarding parenting as well as school and other areas of your child's life, and I will recommend additional resources, where appropriate, for helping your child with their academic, social and extracurricular development.
