Dr. Caroline Fu, DO
Board-certified medical doctor.
Pediatric psychiatrist & therapist.
Instructor at Harvard & Tufts Medical Schools.
Focused on holistic, evidence-based care.
My Commitment to Patients & their Families
Mental health care isn’t “one-size-fits-all.”
I provide deeply personalized care to meet children’s unique needs.
I work with a limited number of families to ensure unrushed care.
Connection
Your child’s healing journey begins with connection. I believe in building collaborative partnerships with my patients, fostering trust that allows us to unlock their innate capacity for healing and growth.
Support
My approach integrates traditional psychiatric expertise, a range of therapy approaches, and a profound respect for your child’s perspective.
Not all children need medication to become the healthiest version of themselves, although many see lasting benefits.
Custom Care
While working with young patients, I take the time to understand their unique experiences and personality.
I also offer concierge services for patients seeking a closer doctor-patient relationship.

A new mindset for treating ADHD
It’s a superpower, not a deficit
ADHD is often perceived as a deficit. But I believe it should be viewed as a source of unique strengths and "superpowers." These include heightened creativity, hyperfocus, resilience, empathy, and a strong moral compass. While ADHD can present challenges, nurturing these traits can lead to personal and professional success
Take control of your symptoms
I offer multiple pathways for gaining control over your ADHD symptoms. Medications are a first-line treatment, but they might not be the best fit for each patient. I offer therapies, and coaching to round-out my treatment. I’m a holistic provider, first and foremost.
Parents & children
When we treat children for ADHD, we place a lot of emphasis on training and supporting their parents. Every parent wants what is best for their child. If a parent didn’t grow up experiencing ADHD symptoms, they greatly benefit from parent coaching and skills training.
