I don't know if you need a psychiatrist who specializes in treating someone who engages in vampirism. I tend to think of that as an obsession and/or delusion. I think any doc or therapist who can work with this child respectfully and with expertise in treating adolescents with delusional, obsessive, and/or psychotic disorders will likely be helpful.
That said, it sounds really difficult to cope with, and scary.
Good luck.
