Does Dr. Mallik work through the Inova Keller Center? I didn't find any listing on their website but there is a Jharna Mallik on Waples Mill Rd.


Yes, that is her. The Kellar Center is on Waples Mill Rd.

For my very bright son with ADHD, we use INOVA Kellar Center in Fairfax (close to Fair Oaks Mall). We use Dr. Tewari (psychiatrist) for monthly medicine renewals and Dr. Mallik (PsyD, I think) for weekly therapy. We are VERY impressed with both of them. And a bonus is that they accept most insurance, a rarity in the psychology field.

Moshe Shtuhl is excellent.

Depending on what you're looking for, Moshe Shtuhl (therapist) and Dan Dinsmore (neurofeedback) of Family Compass in Reston (near the post office) worked well for our AAP/ADHD kid.

DC is in AAP and has ADHD with anxiety. We are seeking someone in the metro area (ideally a psychiatrist and social worker/therapist) that understands gifted kids. (DC is already on medication for ADHD.)

Any recommendations? We are in Vienna but will travel for the right person.
