✨MYTH BUSTED ✨

Think therapy is only for people with “serious” mental illness? Think again!
The truth is: therapy can help you build resilience, manage stress, and grow — at any stage of life. 🌿

It’s always okay to ask for help.

Wondering if your child is ready for Prep?
It’s common to feel unsure—especially when your child is bright in some areas but still developing in others.

A school readiness assessment can provide a clear understanding of where your child is at—socially, emotionally, and academically. It’s not about being “ahead” or “behind,” but about making sure they have the right support as they take this next big step.

Here are 3 signs your child may benefit from an assessment:
👟 Trouble following instructions or staying focused
💬 Difficulty expressing themselves or understanding others
🤝 Challenges with social skills or managing big emotions

Every child develops differently. If you're noticing some of these signs, an assessment can help you make an informed, confident decision about when—and how—they start school.

🌟 3 Steps to an ADHD & Autism Diagnostic Assessment 🌟

Taking the first step in seeking a diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but with a neuro-affirming approach, we create a space that values and supports your unique neurodivergent experience every step of the way. Here’s a breakdown of the 3 main steps in the process:

1️⃣ Initial Session - Gathering Developmental History
This is where we begin by getting to know you. We’ll talk about your developmental history, exploring early life experiences, family history, and your current challenges, all in a safe, non-judgmental space. It’s all about understanding you holistically. 💬

2️⃣ Assessment Session - Understanding Your Experience
Next, we dive deeper. Through various assessments and conversations, we’ll assess your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns. The goal is to gain a comprehensive picture of your neurodivergence so that we can provide an accurate and supportive diagnosis. 🧠✨

3️⃣ Feedback Session - Discussing the Report & Next Steps
Once the assessments are complete, we’ll meet again to review the findings. This session is an opportunity for us to answer all your questions, discuss the results with care, and determine the next steps—whether it’s support, therapies, or any additional resources to empower you. 💪

At every step, we take a neuro-affirming, compassionate approach, acknowledging the strengths, challenges, and lived experiences that make you you. 🌈💛

We have immediate availability for assessments so depending on if you're curious about the process or ready to take the next step, feel free to reach out! We're here for you!
