About

Meet Dr. Lauren Perez: Pediatric Psychologist & Feeding Specialist

Many of the families I work with describe feeling stuck. Their child struggles with focus, frustration, or emotional ups and downs—and despite everyone’s best efforts, progress feels slow. My clients are kids and teens who think deeply, feel intensely, and care about doing well, but their brains work differently. ADHD, anxiety, and feeding or medical challenges can make daily life harder than it looks. I take a whole-child approach—integrating psychology, health, and behavior science to build confidence, balance, and flexibility. I help kids, teens, and young adults manage ADHD, anxiety, and feeding challenges through practical, evidence-based therapy. Sessions blend psychology, behavior science, and creativity—so growth feels doable, not forced. Parents learn strategies that bring more calm and connection at home. Finding the right fit matters. Therapy works best when kids and teens feel understood and progress feels sustainable. If you’re seeking care that’s collaborative, evidence-based, and affirming, I’d be honored to help you or your family take the next step. I offer in-person sessions in Scottsdale and telehealth across PSYPACT states through my private practice, WholeChild Wellness.
