Dr. Adena Shaviva Blickstein, MD, MPH
Dr. Adena Blickstein, MD, MPH, is a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, pediatric mental health innovator, and international speaker pioneering a new relational paradigm for helping children and families thrive. A graduate of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, Dr. Blickstein brings together psychiatry, spirituality, technology, and public health to collectively reimagine and reinvent our current healthcare system.
Dr. Blickstein is the creator of The Attunement Model of Care, a relational approach to pediatric mental health designed to reverse mental illness in 90 days or less. She is the founder of The Family Attunement Movement, Teal Dragon Healing, and TIARA Attunement Certification, through which she trains professionals and child-serving organizations to redesign systems of care into ones that are holistic, coherent, and workable for everyone.
She is the creator of The Nurturer Accelerator, an initiative designed to equip visionary leaders with strategies for developing and piloting systemic solutions to youth mental health challenges.
As a speaker, Dr. Blickstein delivers more than information; she creates a transformational experience that challenges audiences to rethink what is possible in reversing pediatric mental health problems. Her keynotes include topics such as: How to reverse mental illness forever, What is the origin of mental illness, and The myths of mental illness, and how Anyone can reverse mental illness. These talks inspire leaders to move from fragmented approaches toward more connected, empowering models of care that uplift and reinvigorate entire communities and the world.
Her signature message is simple yet profound: when we change the way we understand children, we can change the way we support them, and when we transform the systems surrounding children, we create the conditions for entire families and communities to sustainably thrive.
