Psychiatric help for teen daughter

I´m seeking recommendations for full psychiatric evaluation and treatment for my 13 yo daughter. She suffers from generalized anxiety (which runs in the family), but she also has symptoms of selective mutism, OCD, difficulty regulating emotions and, when she was younger, occasional repetitive body movements, which make me think she might also be on the spectrum. She has always been very social around her friends, but not around adults or anyone she doesn´t know. As puberty hit, between hormones and tween drama, she is starting to get more anxious and depressed, including self-harm, very low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. My biggest concern is that she will NOT talk to me or any adult about any of her issues (I´ve found through friends and texts), so in addition to a good psychiatrist to evaluate and treat her, I also need recommendations for therapists of types of therapy that would help a child who does not talk to adults to begin with. Any recommendations, advice and support are most welcome.

Dr. Daniela Owen in Rockridge was very helpful for my daughter’s extreme social anxiety issues. We worked with her (CBT- cognitive behavioral therapy) when my daughter was in 1st-3rd grade and she is thriving as a middle schooler and reminisces happily about Dr. Owen when we drive by her office.

We were having similar issues with our just turned 13 year old daughter. After searching for months for the proper therapist we discovered Jessica Schild. She is young which I believe makes it easier for our daughter to talk to her She is very respectful of your child's privacy and feelings. Our daughter has become much more relaxed now that she has someone to talk to who isn't a parent or friend(who at 13 can be very judgmental).
