If you or your child are experiencing any of these, please know there is an active solution to help with this! My specialty involves "tweens" (ages 10-13) with a clinical focus around ADHD, ODD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
**AS OF 04/23/2024: CURRENTLY ACCEPTING A FEW NEW CLIENTS** Trying to focus on one task at a time can be challenging and sometimes boring. Emotions then take over and you find ways to release that tension in a negative way. During this time, it can cause conflict between family members, peers, and/or significant others. These negative thoughts/actions are easy to express and obvious strengths are pushed to the side. Having someone who has gone through this personally/professionally can provide active solutions, which can help develop a sense of ease and comfort within the family and individual.
