For families
Parents and caregivers searching for clarity, direction, and a deeper understanding of their child's struggles.
A new way to see autism & pediatric mental health
A broader, deeper look at what may be driving a child's struggles.
I care deeply about children who struggle with autism, anxiety, depression, learning challenges, and other neurodevelopmental concerns — because I was one of them.
My work focuses on how inflammation, immune disruption, and environmental toxicity can profoundly affect the developing brain and body, and how a deeper biological lens can offer families more clarity, hope, and direction.

Dr. Katiraei
Pediatric physician & educator
Severe anxiety, depression, and the experience of autism are not just things I treat — they are experiences I have lived.
That perspective shapes the way I care, teach, and advocate. These are not simply conditions I approach from a distance — they are questions I have wrestled with, and realities that shaped my own path.
My area of expertise is how brain inflammation and toxicity can cause children to become very sick, and how these biological burdens can manifest as autism, learning challenges, and other pediatric mental health concerns.
The mission
Three guiding commitments for the work ahead.
A philosophy of care that looks beneath symptoms, teaches with clarity, and holds space for hope.
Root-cause perspective
Looking beneath symptoms to identify the biologic and environmental drivers that may be shaping a child's health and development.
Education with clarity
Bringing thoughtful, accessible teaching to parents and professionals who want a more complete understanding of complex childhood conditions.
Hope for recovery
Helping families reimagine what is possible when children are seen through a broader medical lens and supported with compassion and clarity.
