Looking for a mental health clinician in New York who has chiari

We live on Long Island in New York. Or son is 8, two surgeries (23mm herniation) and lives in almost daily pain. Thought it would be nice to talk to someone who has chiari him/herself or one who is well versed in treating those with chiari. Thanks!

Well said Beeba! Yes, I’m a counselor and transference could be a problem if his or her chiari presents in a completely different manner than Gavin’s (our son) so a professional who understands, as the one you took your daughter to, is what we’re looking for…heck, I want to see him too! Are you permitted to say his name? I realize he’s not in New York but it could be a starting point for the conversation and search. Thanks, Regina (ska mom:)

Can’t say enough good about Dr Griffith? We are I New York but sounds like he is worth the trip. Can I say you recommended him?
