Body changes, hormonal ups and downs, emerging sexuality, societal pressures to look and feel a certain way… female growth and development are certainly not a walk in the park. Adolescence and young adulthood often bring about a number of physical and emotional challenges for many girls and young women, but with supportive and sound medical and mental health care, the path can be much easier to navigate.

In addition to primary care, mental health care, and management of nutrition and body weight concerns, Dr. Fridy provides sexual and reproductive health care to her patients in a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental manner. Patients and parents alike will find Tribeca Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine to be an especially comfortable and age-appropriate atmosphere in which adolescents and young adults can receive pubertal, gynecologic and reproductive health services.
