Behavioral Psychiatrist needed   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #920 of 982 |
I am working with a parent that has an 18 year old child with severe Autism and
who may also have bipolar who lives in Alpharetta, GA. Her current psychiatrist
does not have expertise when dealing with children with Autism and is "out of
his element" (his words). He has referred her to a behavioral psychiatrist that
does a wonderful job but does not take insurance. Since he does not take
insurance she is unable to continue seeing him because of the cost. Does anyone
have name of a psychiatrist or behavioral psychiatrist that does take insurance
around the Atlanta area that has experience with working with children with
severe Autism?

I really appreciate any input.

Thanks!
