Child and Adolescent Care:

In approaching care of children and adolescents, Hanifa takes a strength-based approach focused on identification and treatment of underlying roots of external symptoms to bring about growth and to allow for channeling of one’s strengths.

Hanifa’s training in child and adolescent psychiatry, her extensive experience within the field and the implementation of evidence-based treatment practices guide the clinical care she provides. Hanifa applies her fundamental belief in the tremendous capacity of children and adolescents to reach their full potential through adequate support and appropriate interventions to the care she provides.

As a parent, you are in the position of needing to make, at times, difficult decisions on behalf of your child. Understanding the weight of parenthood, Hanifa works closely with parents and caregivers to ensure they feel fully informed, supported and comfortable with all treatment decisions.
