Every individual and family has unique strengths and challenges. Dr. Girdler tailors each service to reflect those needs, creating a treatment approach that feels practical, personalized, and supportive from the start.
Medication is never a standalone intervention. It is one part of a larger picture, always paired with a clear understanding of developmental needs, family dynamics, and therapeutic goals. Decisions are made collaboratively and monitored closely so that treatment feels safe, informed, and tailored to the individual.
Families function as interconnected systems, and when one member is struggling, everyone feels the ripple. Family therapy helps improve communication, resolve conflict, and build healthier patterns of interaction. Dr. Girdler has specialized training in Family Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and psychodynamic family therapy. Couples therapy is included within this approach, recognizing that relationships form the core of a family’s emotional ecosystem.
