Psychiatry for brains that work differently.
Specialist care for autism and ADHD — for children, teens, and adults. Longer visits, careful prescribing, and a clinician who works with the parents, teachers, and therapists already in your corner.
For parents & caregivers
You've been waiting long enough for someone to take this seriously.
You've noticed things. Maybe the school has too. Maybe you've been on a waitlist for months while nothing changed. We evaluate carefully, explain clearly, and treat your child as a whole person — not a checklist.
- Comprehensive evaluation — developmental history, standardized rating scales, and parent and teacher input.
- Medication when it's indicated — started carefully, monitored closely, always explained first.
- School documentation — letters and reports that support IEP and 504 requests.
- Coordination with your team — therapists, ABA providers, and pediatricians.
For adults
Maybe you've spent years being treated for the wrong thing.
Many autistic and ADHD adults get diagnosed with something else first — often for a decade or more. If treatment has never quite worked, it may be because nobody has asked the right question yet.
- Adult ADHD and autism assessment — including people identified late, or never at all.
- A second look at a history that hasn't worked — including long-standing "treatment-resistant" labels.
- Co-occurring anxiety, OCD, and mood conditions — treated in context, not in isolation.
- Workplace and academic documentation for accommodation requests.
Who you'll see
One clinician, from the first call onward.
Mohamed Mohamed, PMHNP-BC, trained at Yale University and founded FirstLight so that families and adults would get longer visits, careful prescribing, and a clinician who knows them. The person you speak with on your free first call is the person who cares for you after it.

We do a few things, and we do them deeply.
Generalist psychiatry is a mile wide. We went the other direction — narrow and deep, so the patterns other clinicians only see occasionally are the ones we see every day.
Autism
Diagnosis and support across the lifespan — from young children to adults identified late.
ADHD
Careful evaluation, plus stimulant and non-stimulant management that's actually monitored.
Anxiety & OCD
Frequently travels with autism and ADHD — and frequently gets treated all by itself.
Emotional Regulation
Rejection sensitivity, meltdowns, shutdowns, and burnout — named, and worked with.
What we believe
The values behind every visit.
Families are the experts
No one knows a child like their parents. We bring clinical training; you bring years of observation. Treatment plans are built together, or not at all.
Medication is a tool, not a reflex
When medication helps, it should be precise, monitored, and tied to goals you can actually see. When it isn't needed, we'll say so.
Culture is part of care
Stigma, language, faith, and family structure all shape how healing happens. Care that ignores them doesn't work. Ours doesn't ignore them.
