Dr. Geary examines the root cause of the illness, both physical and psychosocial and create a wellness plan that includes and supports the entire family ‘s wellness path.

Adolescents and young adults are in crisis. While we may consider this as “ adverse childhood events” or even trauma, the reality for these young folks is that they are dissociated, destabilized and physically inflamed. 

And parents are at a loss: they are themselves immersed in social media, overwhelmed, and confused about how to care for their teenagers and young adults, many of whom moved home during Covid and fell apart. Statistics are dire: more than 50% of the youth/young adult population struggle with:

1. ANXIETY

2. DISORDERED EATING

3. GENDER DYSMORPHIA

4. FAILURE TO LAUNCH

5. DEPRESSION

LOW SELF-ESTEEM IN OUR HIGHLY COMPARATIVE CULTURE LEADS TO POOR BODY IMAGE ( EATING DISORDERS) LOW ENERGY ( DEPRESSION) HIGH STRESS ( ANXIETY) SCHOOL FAILURE/FAILURE TO LAUNCH INTO THE ADULT WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE. SYMPTOMS OF THESE CONDITIONS INCLUDE GI DISTRESS, POOR SLEEP, IRRITABILITY, SOCIAL ISOLATION AND FAILURE IN SCHOOL/WORK AND SUICIDAL IDEATION OR SUICIDE. AND PARENTAL ALIENATION.

 Dr. Geary is committed to ensuring time for conversation, without the schedule constraints often imposed by larger clinics. Her personalized practice is based on the belief that raising a healthy, happy young person is a challenge, which depends on an understanding of the overall family’s health as well.
