Pediatric psychology for children, teens, young adults, and parents across Pennsylvania
Practical help for the moments shaping your child.
When emotions, attention, behavior, or school start feeling harder, you should not have to connect every piece alone. Dr. Maribeth Wicoff helps you build a clear plan, and brings schools and pediatricians onto the same team when it helps.

You may be here because
You do not need to wait for a crisis.
- Mornings keep unraveling before anyone gets out the door.
- Your child is worried about school and you are not sure how worried to be.
- Bedtime takes everything you have left.
- A teacher sees one thing, the pediatrician sees another, and you are piecing it together.
- Homework ends in tears, yours or theirs.
- You are expecting, or newly parenting, and want the skills before the hard patterns set in.
We can start there.

Why this practice
A former Philadelphia special education teacher who became a psychologist.
I spent six years teaching in the School District of Philadelphia and kept seeing the same gap: schools, families, and doctors working separately on the same child. You should not have to translate between every adult helping your child.
For schools and pediatricians
One child, one connected team
Refer a family, ask a scope question, or bring a psychologist into a school meeting. With consent, you get the loop closed rather than a referral that disappears.
Pediatricians
A collaborative partner in your patient's care.
Schools
Guidance teachers and teams can put to work.
Families
One plan across home, school, and healthcare.
Clear next steps. Easier days at home.
