BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ADULTS WITH I/DD
Psychiatric care that speaks
disability fluently.
Psychiatric care from licensed nurse practitioners, for adults with developmental disabilities who also face mental health challenges. From a team that already knows your loved one.
FAMILY-OWNED · LICENSED PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONERS · HOME VISITS & TELEHEALTH · ACROSS NJ COUNTIES.
For adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who also live with anxiety, depression, trauma, or behavioral challenges, and for the families who love them. We come to you, at home or by telehealth, and work alongside your support team to notice changes early and keep life steady. Whether you're already with THHS or referred by another agency, you're welcome here.
03 / WHAT WE OFFER
Real psychiatric care,
built around the person.
SERVICES
Free Psychiatric Evaluation:
A thorough first visit, in person or by telehealth, to understand the whole picture:
history, health, current medications, and what daily life actually looks like.
No cost, no commitment. It's where the plan starts.
Medication Management:
Careful, ongoing management of psychiatric medications: starting only what's needed, watching how it works, and adjusting over time. Never guesswork, never set-and-forget..
E-Prescriptions:
Prescriptions sent electronically, straight to your pharmacy.
No extra trips, no paper to lose.
Ongoing Follow-Up:
Regular check-ins that keep care on track as needs change.
One evaluation is a start, not the whole story.
Care that talks to your team:
Psychiatric care that works alongside your Tender Hand support team and family,
so nobody's guessing and nothing falls through the cracks.
WHO PROVIDES YOUR CARE

trusted face,

licensed, and insured, and we introduce you before care ever begins.

"Every other provider saw my son's autism and stopped looking. Here, someone finally saw the anxiety underneath, and knew exactly what to do. He's more himself than he's been in years."
