Laila Contractor, M.D. is a double board-certified concierge Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist.  She is the only concierge, certified Integrative Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist in Orange County.  She started her own practice to offer the highest level of care and to be able to spend the time she needed to find the root causes of the challenges families are facing.  She specializes in using evidenced-based, holistic treatments as well as cutting-edge psychiatry to maximize wellness in her patients.  She specializes in individuals who have both psychiatric and learning challenges, those struggling with the challenges of trauma, as well as treatment-resistant anxiety and depression.  

When a person has not responded to initial treatment, they are commonly thought of as "treatment resistant."  This type of belief can lead to a sense of hopelessness, as though there is nothing that can be done and that things will never get better for them. Dr. Contractor does not subscribe to that view.  Very often, this is not really the case.  In most cases, the treatments that work best for the individual have yet to be uncovered. We are all very different people and our experiences and our physiology are so unique that it's really no wonder there is no one-size fits all approach to treating conditions.  Dr. Contractor thinks of conditions that don't readily respond to treatment as being "treatment resilient" to conventional methods.
