Who We Treat

Specializing in Complex Cases

When standard psychiatric care hasn’t provided the breakthrough you need, our comprehensive approach succeeds with complex presentations across all ages.

Maybe you have been told your case is “complicated” or “treatment-resistant.” Perhaps multiple providers have struggled to find the right approach, or previous treatments have provided only partial relief. These aren’t reasons for discouragement—they’re exactly the presentations where our systematic ATP framework excels.

From children with complex developmental presentations to adults with treatment-resistant depression, we specialize in cases that require more than standard care can provide.

Age Groups We Serve

Children (Ages 6-12)

Complex developmental and behavioral presentations


When your child’s struggles go beyond typical childhood challenges, our comprehensive assessment reveals underlying patterns that explain concerning behaviors. We help with:
  • Complex ADHD with multiple medication failures
  • Early-onset mood disorders requiring family-centered care
  • Autism spectrum presentations needing specialized support
  • Severe anxiety affecting school and family functioning
  • Behavioral challenges that haven’t responded to standard interventions

Adolescents (Ages 13-21)

Specialized expertise in teen mental health complexity


Adolescence brings unique challenges, and when mental health struggles emerge during these critical years, specialized expertise makes all the difference. We excel with:
  • Treatment-resistant depression (including FDA-approved adolescent TMS)
  • Complex anxiety and OCD presentations
  • ADHD and executive function challenges affecting academic success
  • Autism spectrum support during transition years
  • Family conflict and communication breakdown
  • Early psychosis or mood episodes requiring careful evaluation
Dr. Krasner’s leadership in adolescent psychiatry (Past President, American Society of Adolescent Psychiatry) ensures your teen receives care from recognized experts in the field.

Adults (Ages 22+)

Advanced solutions for treatment-resistant presentations


When adult mental health challenges have resisted standard treatment approaches, our advanced interventions offer new pathways to relief. We specialize in:
  • Treatment-resistant depression
  • PTSD and trauma requiring rapid relief approaches
  • Complex anxiety and OCD presentations
  • ADHD diagnosis and management in adults
  • Bipolar disorder requiring sophisticated medication management
  • Professional and relationship functioning restoration

Complexity Levels We Handle

Treatment-Resistant Cases

When multiple attempts haven’t provided adequate relief


You’ve tried several medications, engaged in therapy, perhaps even had previous psychiatric hospitalizations. Standard approaches have provided minimal or temporary improvement.

Complex Diagnostic Pictures

When multiple conditions interact or presentations are unclear


Your symptoms don’t fit neatly into diagnostic categories, or you’re dealing with several overlapping conditions that complicate treatment.

Acute and Crisis Situations

When immediate stabilization and intensive support are needed


Through our partnership, we can handle crisis-level presentations requiring immediate intensive intervention.

Common Presentations We See

Multiple Failed Medication Trials

When several medication attempts have failed or provided only partial relief, the issue often isn’t finding the “right” medication—it’s understanding why previous approaches haven’t succeeded.

Unclear or Changing Diagnoses

When multiple providers have offered conflicting explanations for your symptoms, comprehensive assessment becomes essential for clarity and effective treatment.

Partial Response to Treatment

When treatment has helped somewhat but hasn’t delivered the full relief you need, optimization and additional interventions often make the crucial difference.

Complex Family Dynamics

Mental health challenges don’t exist in isolation. When family relationships, communication patterns, or generational issues complicate recovery, family-centered care becomes essential.

Is Our Practice Right for Your Situation?

You might be a good fit if:

  • Multiple medication trials haven’t provided adequate relief
  • Previous therapy has helped somewhat but progress has stalled
  • You’ve received conflicting diagnoses or explanations
  • You need advanced treatments (TMS, Ketamine) not widely available
  • Crisis situations require immediate intensive intervention
  • Academic, work, or relationship functioning remains significantly impaired

Our comprehensive approach works best for families ready to:

  • Invest in thorough assessment understanding the complete picture
  • Engage in coordinated treatment addressing multiple factors
  • You’ve received conflicting diagnoses or explanations
  • Commit to measurement-based optimization of interventions
  • Participate in ongoing support maintaining long-term progress
  • Academic, work, or relationship functioning remains significantly impaired
