Diagnostic Services

With the added academic, family and social stresses, many children are stressed beyond their capacity. Memory problems, learning and retrieval issues are frequently thought to be ADHD but instead are symptoms of anxiety. 

With high expectations and stress comes a sense of failure and despair. Children, adolescents and adults experience a lack of focus and desire, suicidal thoughts and withdrawal from others. Depression can have physiological components as well as physical ones. 

With easy access to alcohol and drugs, many seek pleasure and relief through abuse. In the last years, gaming addiction has become a major cause of academic failure, family conflict and withdrawal.

We get "hooked" emotionally and don't react in a manner that helps our kids. Dr. Field's expertise as a psychologist  and father of 4 is based on understanding family dynamics and how individual's problems are involved.
