Dr. Kevin C. Smith
For the past 20 years, I have been a health psychologist in two pediatric hospitals providing services such as psychological evaluations and outpatient therapy for children/young adults, with a focus on sleep disorders. By far, our sleep patients' number one mental health concern was problems with attention/concentration. Yet many never had an ADHD evaluation, or were diagnosed based on an office visit and a few questionnaires, which may be appropriate for some, but not for all. And many of their parents expressed the same concerns about themselves but had never sought help. So I started Calibrate Sleep + Mental Health (CSMH) to address those needs.
SERVICE OFFERED
I provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children and adults that extend beyond the brief, questionnaire-based assessments typically used in many medical settings.
Additionally, I provide nonpharmacological treatments for sleep disorders via telehealth in 40 states, and/or in-person appointments (Seattle, WA area). Here are a few examples of sleep issues I can help you with: For children: difficulty sleeping independently, nighttime fears, and bedtime refusals. For all age groups: insomnia, nightmare disorder, delayed/advanced sleep phase disorder, challenges using positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, and behavioral strategies to compliment your narcolepsy medical regimen.
