LaRosa, Valerie, ND

I am a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and former behavioral therapist with over 25 years of working with children with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families. I have worked with parents to optimize the health and development of their children since 2012 as an ND. As a mother of two and a physician, I understand that each child is unique in their genetics, their biochemistry, and their temperament, regardless of diagnostic labels. My whole child, family-centered approach to care combines evidence-based, functional medicine and individualized treatment recommendations that acknowledge and support the connections among the digestive and immune systems, sleep, diet, stress, brain development, and behavior.
