In the Hyperactivity, Attention, and Learning Problems (HALP) Clinic, she assesses children, adolescents, and young adults for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression. She consults with schools and provides behavioral treatments, including individual parent management training, group skills training, and family therapy. In the Muses Program for Minoritized Youth, Dr. Ly provides cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral (TF-CBT), and supportive therapy to youth (ages 8-20), parenting support, and school consultation.
