My Approach to Care

As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, my focus is working with youth and their families to help create positive change. The most important part of this process is building relationships and trust with you. This includes actively listening to you and your child and knowing the right questions to ask to fully understand and evaluate areas of concern. Through this evaluation, a diagnosis is made. Then, we will work together to develop a treatment plan to meet the unique needs of your child and family.

My approach includes working with your child and you as the parent. I will also include any other individuals you feel would be helpful such as teachers, caregivers, etc. Depending on the child and situation, I will meet with you as a group and also with the parents and child individually.

My specialty is working with children and teens, and their families, to help in areas such as:

  • Depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder
  • Anger management/defiant, oppositional behaviors
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD)
  • Autism spectrum and intellectual/developmental concerns
  • Abuse and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)
  • Eating disorders
  • Behavior and school problems
  • Pattern of mood swings
  • Significant life changes and relationship difficulties

Treatment involves evidence-based care and a holistic approach. This may include a combination of medication management, coordination of care with other therapies, and learning and developing new skills.

One of the things your facility and providers are missing is links to FAMILY counselors. Kids are not alone in their problems. Many of the problems that kids have could be fixed with better FAMILY counseling. You should have links to counselors with SSP (Safe and Sound Protocol) training, and be familiar with Dr. Ross Greene's Lives In The Balance training. There are many non-pharmaceutical interventions that would help kids, but society jumps to drugs to solve problems. Long term, they don't work. Centerpointe had a DBT program and you need something along those line, which bring in the parents. The parents are always part (not all, but definitely part) of the problem - always. Always. Parents don't get training on parenting, and their parents didn't either. And if kids are adopted, even at birth, they have suffered trauma of losing the warmth of the voice, and soft touch of the birth mother. Trauma kids need a different approach than regular kids with a normal nervous system. Read the book 'What Happened To You' by Oprah Winfrey et al. There is so much new neuroscience in the last twenty years. You need to get in SPECT brain imaging. Many problems are physical. Look at Dr. Amen's University in Chicago. Take steps to modernize yourself. I've learned more on the internet than from your providers. Thank you for listening.

We Dr.Wittry was is the first caregiver I guess the first doctor that we have found for our son that has. I just feel like he genuinely listens and cares and then as a parent I shifted it out of feeling like discouraged and maybe despair with feeling.like I can't find right care or knowing how to parent him correctly with the different needs that. he has the different behaviors that I was seeing and challenge with. So I just Dr. Wittry, has just been an absolute hero in our family, and I know that he's being promoted and will do amazing in his next and like helping to create the vision for better care for

Dr. Wittry does a great job of connecting with adolescent patients and getting them to open up about their feelings. He also does a good job of being patient and listening.

Dr. Wittry is probably the best there is. Have had others that should not have a license.
April 21, 2021
I feel Dr. Wittry was able to calmly question my daughter about her poor behavior choices, but thinking about it now, I would have liked more references to know if a Psychology evaluation would help her. I don't feel any psychiatrists consider anything about kid's menstrual history which is still random after 3 years.

The office staff was very helpful and so nice. The Dr took his time.

Dr. Wittry did a great job of listening to our concern and talked to our son a lot regarding his concerns. We really appreciated that.
January 20, 2021
Dr. Wittry is the best of providers. He's thoughtful, he listens, he takes time, he knows my child, he knows our family. We don't know what we would do without him, we're so grateful.
January 20, 2021
He's a good doctor. He's listening very well. He's asking a lot of questions and he's very patient and he's even took a lot of time to explain your situation.
