Treatment Areas
ADHD
ADHD can impact attention, impulse control, organization, and emotional regulation across home, school, and social settings. The symptoms may impact academics, behavioral expectations, and relationships.
Depression
Depression can affect mood, motivation, energy, and daily functioning, often leading to feelings of sadness, changes in sleep, changes in appetite, hopelessness, or withdrawal. It can impact thoughts, behavior, and social engagement, making everyday activities more challenging.
Adjustment
Adjusting to stressful life events such as a move, relationship conflict, divorce, health challenge, diagnosis, disruption in caregiving, and other life transitions may lead to strong emotional or behavioral reactions. While stress is normal, sometimes a situation can feel overwhelming and difficult to cope with. Even positive changes, like an addition to the family or becoming a parent, can be difficult to adjust to.
Disruptive Behavior
Disruptive behaviors may include defiance, emotional outbursts, difficulty following directions, or challenges with impulse control. These behaviors often reflect underlying difficulties with emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, or adapting to expectations.
Interpersonal Relationships
Interpersonal relationships are central to emotional well-being. Difficulties with peers, family members, or partners may show up as conflict, communication challenges, social withdrawal, or feelings of disconnection.
Parenting
Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging. Caregivers may seek support when navigating behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, family transitions, or developmental questions. Guidance can help strengthen connection and foster effective responses to challenges.
OCD
OCD is characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions). These patterns can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, and emotional well-being.
Anxiety
Anxiety can affect thoughts, emotions, and the body, often appearing as persistent worry, avoidance, difficulty separating from parents, or physical complaints such as stomachaches or headaches. It can influence attention, play, sleep, and social interactions, and may look different depending on age and developmental stage. Types of anxiety include general anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety, OCD, and specific phobias.
Trauma
Trauma occurs when an individual experiences or witnesses a distressing or overwhelming event, such as abuse, loss, or other adverse experiences. It can affect thoughts, emotions, and the body, often showing up as hyper vigilance, emotional numbing, irritability, or difficulties with trust and connection.
Grief & Loss
Grief and loss can arise after the death of a loved one or following meaningful life changes, such as relationship shifts or major transitions. Individuals may experience sadness, confusion, anger, or behavioral changes while processing the impact of the loss.
Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence refers to variations in brain development and function, including differences in attention, learning, sensory processing, and social-emotional functioning. Individuals may experience unique strengths as well as challenges in daily life and relationships.
Pediatric Neuro-Autoimmune
Disorders (PANS/PANDAS)
PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) are conditions marked by the sudden onset of obsessive-compulsive behaviors, anxiety, emotional lability, or behavioral changes in children. These symptoms often appear rapidly and can significantly impact daily functioning, school performance, and relationships.
