Getting started

Request a consult

The first step is a records review and an unhurried conversation — where your child's treatment stands, what could be better, and whether we're the right practice to do it.


What to expect

  1. Send an inquiry. A few lines about your child's situation — age, current treatment, what's prompting the question.
  2. Records review. Before the visit, we review prior evaluations, rating scales, and prescription history so the consultation starts informed.
  3. Consultation with Dr. Ratush. A scheduled video visit — with you, and with your child as appropriate — ending in a plain-language assessment and a written plan, whether or not you continue with us.

Email the practice

If your child is in crisis, do not wait for a consultation: call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
