Through a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, Dr. Drossos empowers children to better manage their health and live fulfilling lives, while also providing families with the tools and resources they need to support their children's ongoing care. Along with an established interdisciplinary team, we develop tailored treatment plans that include each element of care from mental health to clinical programs designed to support and treat children/adolescents and families with chronic illnesses.
Dr. Drossos also uses research to further improve care for pediatric patients needing chronic care, such as diabetes, cancer and median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). She is evaluating methods to enhance the quality of life for children and adolescence with chronic illnesses. Her research has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including, Pediatrics, Primary Care Diabetes, Frontiers in Psychology, Journal of Pediatric Psychology and more.
