Everything your family deserves
Dr. Niroshika De Silva founded the Center for Rising Minds after noticing a pattern of patients needing support from various specialists without a single through line.
Parents specifically often feel overwhelmed after their child is diagnosed with a mental health condition. They’re often unsure of how to manage the work of multiple providers and worried about pediatric psychotherapy treatment goals and continuity of care. Their own undiagnosed mental health conditions may even need to be addressed as they work to process their child’s treatment needs.
By offering comprehensive mental health services for both kids and adults, the Center for Rising Minds alleviates these concerns. We take a holistic approach to treatment, understanding that no individual or family is exactly alike and that we all need personalized care.
The benefits of our comprehensive approach to care include:
A team that collaborates and works together to best serve each patient and the family as a whole
An ability to address all areas of concern with psychotherapy, speech therapy, and/or occupational therapy
A single, sustainable treatment plan for each patient that leads to meaningful progress
Our Work with Adult Patients
You can’t take care of your loved ones if you don’t first take care of yourself. Whether you’re struggling with a career rut, relationship troubles, or parenting stress, our team is here to help. We can support you as you reframe your perspective, learn coping techniques, set new goals, and strive to be your best self.
It is our hope that you will find confidence and freedom as you overcome your struggles and reach new heights.
Our Kid-Centered Approach
Let’s be honest: When your child struggles, you struggle too. Our team stays up-to-date on the best practices for pediatric psychotherapy care, outpatient therapy, and speech therapy. We also offer unparalleled pediatric neurodivergent treatment, helping patients with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and more.
When working with children, our goal is to support them as they strive for their academic, social-emotional, and overalls goals, allowing them to achieve independence and optimal wellbeing.
