Vera Joffe, Ph.D., PA

Dr. Joffe's practice is mostly based on treating children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome anxiety, mood disorders, Asperger's Syndrome, and other anxiety disorders such as Selective Mutism, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Social Anxiety. She has written three books, which are about Asperger's Syndrome, Selective Mutism, and a book on Adult ADHD. She works with children and families, consults with schools, hospitals, and is a professional board member of CHADD.

She uses cognitive behavior therapy for SM. However, the approach is more complex with interviews of parents, visits to the school (to observe the child), consults with the school, and interventions at school, with the family, and at the office.
