Group of Diverse Thriving Teens With ADHD

Supporting Teens with ADHD and Executive Functioning Challenges-Because They Deserve to Thrive.

I know how hard it is to watch your child struggle- whether it’s falling behind in school, feeling left out socially, or constantly battling frustration and overwhelm. You’ve probably tried so much already, and it can feel exhausting and isolating. That’s why we’re here- to walk alongside you and your teen, providing personalized counseling and coaching that don’t just help them thrive but bring calm (and reduce tension) back to your family. 

We help children and teens unlock their potential with counseling, coaching, and parent-focused support designed to help you and your child better understand ADHD + EF skills in order to build confidence, improve skills, and increase autonomy. 

 
At our practice, we believe that every child and teen has the potential to thrive, even when ADHD and executive functioning challenges make life feel overwhelming and hard. 
 

Through personalized counseling, coaching, and parent education, we work together to uncover your child’s unique strengths, provide practical strategies to overcome ADHD-specific challenges, and help your family better understand how ADHD and executive functioning impact every part of your lives. 

Our goal is to empower your child to build confidence, master essential skills, and develop the independence they need to succeed- while giving you the tools and support to guide them along the way. 

 
Our services for improving ADHD and executive functioning challenges require three critical components. The three components are:

You’re Not Alone- We’re Here to Help. 

 

We get to the root of your child’s learning and social difficulties so that you know what supports your child needs to learn their best.

When families first come in, they have been through countless disappointing parent-teacher conferences, phone calls home, a fair share of failed tests, missing homework assignments, and very few answers about what their child needs to do well! 

Like my clients, you deserve answers. You know your child is smart and kind-hearted and that if you could just get them the right help, they would thrive.

Parents, we work together as a team to discover the best conditions for your child to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

 

We currently accept insurance for counseling services.

We work with a variety of insurance providers.  We will verify in advance to determine if we are in network with your provider.
