Dr. Rosario's expertise includes treating children and adolescent patients who have autism spectrum disorder. She integrates a wide array of resources for patients - either at our practice or within their communities to further support them in reaching their goals
In this Episode, Dr Rosario talks about the importance of keeping childhood alive. She discusses what inspired her to become a psychiatrist and the shift she noticed when she had the opportunity to scan her patient’s brains - in particular the speed at which she is able to help her clients get better
She discusses trauma in children and the patterns that show up on functional brain scans, as well as what sports can help - or hurt your child’s brain
She shares her unique therapeutic approach, which she uses to supporting children with autism improve their brains, as well as the impact that the pandemic had on her brain function and her connection with her patients
I loved talking with Dr Rosario - it was great to speak with a professional who was both humble and connected to the importance of fun, positive childhood experiences and empowering our children have better brains and better lives
