John Leikauf

Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development

Bio

I am a child & adolescent psychiatrist currently seeing patients and supervising trainees primarily in Stanford’s general clinic for ADHD and disruptive behavior disorders. My clinical practice is currently a mix that includes individual therapy, medication management, and parenting/family work. My research interests include identifying clinical profiles that integrate information across different modalities in order to individualize treatment for youth with ADHD and/or anxiety; digital health interventions; and efforts to understand the impact of individuals’ different points of view on clinical encounters.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests

I am interested in better understanding the heterogeneous cognitive and electrophysiological abnormalities in children with ADHD and the many other conditions that commonly co-occur with ADHD. The long-term goal is to be able to better target treatments to specific deficits in order to promote long-term health and well-being and improve outcomes that matter to individuals and families suffering from these disorders.
