Does anyone know of a good child psychologist (could be MS, MSW, Ed.D or Ph.D.) for an 11 year old boy with ADHD? I am having a hard time finding one in this area. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all for your responses. I will now call each one and figure out who would be best for my son. It is so hard to find someone and I don't feel comfortable discussing it with people at school. I also contacted my pediatrician, but their suggestions were either too far, not taking new patients or too expensive.

My daughter has a very serious mental illness and her psychiatrist has highly recommended Dr. Andrew Brams who is located near you at 4615 Post Oak Place Drive, Suite 201, Houston 77027. His phone number is ###-###-####. We've not actually seen him, but he very kindly replied to my phone call himself. If you don't mind the drive I can also personally recommend Dr. Khasho with Family Psychiatry of the Woodlands ###-###-####. If you're ever in need of a psychiatrist, his associate, Dr. Marshall Lucas is THE BEST (with our daughter's illness we've seen several).

My daughter is seeing one right now and she IS in Bellaire.

Her name is Edna Kwan, MA, LPC, RPT. She is a licensed professional counselor and a Resgisted Play Therapist (I believe there are only 2 in the state).

She has her Masters Degree from Columbia (smart cookie).

Now, my daughter wasn't seeing her for ADHD but for some personal hardships she experienced. We only needed about 8 visits so this wasn't a long term experience. My daughter initially did not want to go but really ended up liked Edna, felt comfortable and enjoyed going so I believed she worked well with my daughter.

I tried to "screen" the therapists to find a good match. I asked them what they specialize in FIRST instead of telling them what I was looking for. This way, they weren't just telling me what I wanted to hear just to get my business.

Good luck, here's her info.:

Edna Kwan
4545 Bissonnet. STE 275
Bellaire 77401

Call your pediatrician. My son went to counseling and our pedi gave me a list of local counselors/psychologists that he recommended.
