Who we are
Dr. Friedman, a board-certified pediatrician with training in integrative psychiatry, has forged a unique path in the realm of holistic care, focusing on personalized primary care, preventive infant mental health and integrative psychiatry. Her experiences in high-volume primary care clinics illustrated the challenges of adequately addressing each child's needs amid hectic schedules. It was in these fast-paced environments that she recognized a pressing necessity for a more comprehensive approach to pediatric primary care and mental health.
Having worked in the pediatric ICU—where she encountered children and adolescents who had attempted suicide—Dr. Friedman witnessed firsthand the limitations of traditional psychiatric interventions. Many of these young patients had already undergone conventional treatments, yet they continued to struggle. This realization spurred her commitment to exploring beyond standard practices, understanding that a more integrative approach might be essential in nurturing child and adolescent mental wellness.
Her time in the NICU further enriched her perspective as she saw the immense stress faced by families during critical moments. Dr. Friedman became determined to facilitate stronger bonds between parents and their infants, even in such a challenging environment. She recognized that nurturing these connections is vital for emotional development and resilience.
With compassion and expertise as both a physician and mother, Dr. Friedman aims to provide a holistic framework that addresses the mental, emotional, and physical health of children. Her work embodies a deep commitment to fostering healthier future generations, ensuring that every child not only survives but thrives.Welcome to your go-to source for all things health!
