Bio

Ephat Bephat always knew she wanted to work with kids — in fact, she was a pediatrician for eight years before becoming a therapist. When she was a practicing physician, she saw the need for behavioral and developmental care, and is grateful now that pediatric and adolescent mental health is her focus.

Ephat is licensed in multiple states including New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. As a mom of four daughters, her strength lies in partnering with families to help kids identify their unique strengths and realize their potential.

Q&A with Ephat

After finishing internship and residency at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC in 2011, I practiced as a general pediatrician in Massachusetts until 2019. Since then, I have chosen to focus on helping children and families address their mental health concerns.

I always knew I wanted to work with children. In medical school, I loved general pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and psychiatry. I ended up going into general pediatrics. As a general pediatrician, I saw the great need for better behavioral and developmental care. General pediatric visits are short and did not allow me the time to fully help my families. Now, I can really focus and help children and families thrive!

I like to partner with families to help children identify their unique strengths and realize their potential.

I live with my husband, 4 school-age daughters, and a golden retriever. I understand the challenges of a busy family life!
