Need to consult with Child development specialist

April 2007

I'm looking for a child development expert to consult about my three year old, who seems to be regressing and having a lot of anxiety. I'd like to learn whether or not this is all normal behavior and how to help my child cope. Can anyone recommend a psychologist type with a calm presence and sympathy to attachment parenting? thanks


How is your child regressing? Is it develomental or emotinal or both? If your child is regressing in his/her development you should definitely have your child assessed. If it is developmental you should see a Pediatric Developmental Specialist or Pediatric Behavioral Medicine Expert. Dr. Brad Berman (Walnut Creek), Dr. Wachtel (Children's Hospital), Dr. Winters (CHO), or Dr. Tina Gabby (Marin). Be prepared for a long wait list. Good luck to you. anonymous
I can whole-heartedly recommend Anita Barrows, Ph.D. as a child development specialist. She is supportive of attachment parenting and knowledgeable of the developmental stages of children, what is normal, what may need attention, and how to go about addressing the needs of a child. She has a very calm presence and is down to earth. Her office is near Berkeley Bowl, phone number: 540-8330. Anon.

Our pediatrician recommended evaluation of 2.5 year old

March 2007

Our 2.5 year old son's pediatrician recommended that he be evaluated by a developmental pediatrician because he does NO imaginative play. He has good language skills and is bonded to us. We would prefer to pay out of pocket at this point. Know of anyone good? We live in Berkeley but will travel for the right person. Anon


I highly recommend our developmental pediatrician Dr Brad Berman. His office is in Walnut creek and phone number is 925-279-3480. I have to warn you that the wait to get an appointment is long and he is expensive - but well worth it. I have also seen Dr Erica Buhrmann, in Albany, but do not feel she helped us as much - her number is 510-540-5320. If you would like to e-mail or call me I'd be happy to give a more detailed answer.

My child has seen Dr. Erica Buhrmann for some similar issues. My husband and I found her very knowledgeable and supportive of our son and of us. She has a private practice on Solano Avenue but is also on staff at Children's Hospital. Her phone number is 510-540-5320. Anon
Dr. Erica Buhrmann in Albany (510) 540-5320. She's very nice and very available, she'll explain everything to you in words you can understand and will answer all your questions. Good luck!! Jill
