✨ Skill-Building Tools for ADHD + Perimenopause ✨

When old tools stop working, new ones must be built. For ADHD brains in perimenopause, skill-building isn’t optional—it’s essential for managing brain fog, anxiety, and shifting hormones.

👉 Practical strategies that work now:
✔️ Externalize memory with planners, reminders, and visual cues
✔️ Break tasks into tiny steps to reduce overwhelm
✔️ Build new systems for time management so you can better predict how long things will take
✔️ Rest without guilt—reframe downtime as brain fuel, not failure
✔️ Delegate responsibilities—because hyper-independence has limits
✔️ Practice anxiety reduction with grounding, journaling, or therapeutic support

👉 Explore:
For some women, ADHD medication may help. For others, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) better addresses brain fog, mood swings, and cognitive changes linked to estrogen loss. Sometimes, the right support is a combination of both.

💡 These aren’t “nice to haves”—they’re survival strategies for navigating ADHD + hormone shifts. Small, consistent changes really can add up to big relief.

✨ Ready for therapy with an ADHD expert and menopause coach who focuses on building skills—not just talking about challenges? Together, we’ll build datasets, assign homework, and work on teaching the brain new strategies instead of only rehashing how hard life feels.

🌟 Impulsivity Interrupted: Real-Time Coaching That Works 🌟
For kids with ADHD and Autism, impulsivity can take over in an instant. They might rush ahead in a game, break a teammate’s build, or blurt something out before thinking. In most settings, those moments are seen as disruptions—but in the Minecraft Social Skills Group, they become opportunities for growth. Victoria Prisco, Licensed Therapist & Special Education Teacher, steps in right away, helping kids pause, recognize what happened, and try a new response before frustration escalates. This real-time coaching means your child isn’t just hearing about what they should do differently later—they’re practicing impulse control in the moment it matters most. Over time, these teachable moments add up to better self-control, smoother teamwork, and stronger confidence in both play and real life.

Group details: Starting the week of October 13th

Kids 8-11 (flexibility for ages 7 and 12), no official diagnosis needed
🗓 Kids attend group once per week for 55 minutes on Tuesdays or Wednesdays | 4:30 PM ET or 6:00 PM ET

✨ Brain Fog, Anxiety & ADHD in Perimenopause ✨

Do you ever feel like you’re going crazy? You’re not. What’s really happening is that your hormones have shifted—and it’s unraveling the ADHD solutions you’ve relied on for years to keep life on track.

Whether you were officially diagnosed or not, you’ve likely been building coping tools since Kindergarten to “stay on track.” But as estrogen and progesterone decline during perimenopause and menopause, brain fog, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm intensify. The old strategies stop working, and everything feels harder.

💡 The truth: What’s happening may not make sense to you—or to your body right now. ADHD and hormone shifts collide in a way that can feel unpredictable and overwhelming. But it’s not a personal failure—it’s a real biological change that needs new support. You deserve validation, compassion, and tools that match this season of life.

👉 For ADHD brains in perimenopause, skill-building is essential:
✔️ Externalize memory with planners and reminders
✔️ Break tasks into tiny steps to reduce overwhelm
✔️ Rest without guilt—downtime is brain fuel
✔️ Delegate responsibilities—hyper-independence has limits
✔️ Regulate emotions with grounding, journaling, or therapy

These aren’t “nice to haves”—they’re survival strategies for brains navigating ADHD + hormone shifts. Small changes really do add up to big relief.

Minecraft Social Skills Group Therapy
For neurodivergent children ages 7–12 | Limited to 10 kids per group

Does your child struggle with big emotions, frustration tolerance, or connecting with peers? My weekly Minecraft Social Skills Group creates a safe and fun space for kids to learn and practice essential social and emotional skills—in real time.

🕒 Weekly, Wednesdays at 4:30 PM ET or 6:00 PM ET starting October 15th - Dec 30th, no group the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Virtual via HIPAA-compliant Google Meet + a private Minecraft Realm

In group, children practice:
✔️ Teamwork & communication instead of isolating during play
✔️ Expressing feelings with words instead of relying only on adults
✔️ Apologizing, repairing, & respecting boundaries
✔️ Building patience & managing impulsivity
✔️ Developing flexible thinking when things don’t go as planned
✔️ Growing self-esteem by collaborating and problem-solving

Each week, I also introduce Minecraft “mods” that challenge kids to read directions, ask questions, and problem-solve together—just like real classroom and social situations.

👩‍🏫 I’m Victoria, a Creative Arts Therapist, Special Education Teacher, and Menopause Coach. With 15+ years of experience supporting neurodivergent kids and families, I designed this group to fill a gap: making therapy accessible through insurance while giving children a supportive space to thrive.

Most commercial insurance plans accepted.

✨ Perimenopause Brain Fog + ADHD ✨

Perimenopause often feels like a game of “Where did I put my brain?” Memory lapses, emotional sensitivity, and tearfulness show up more often—and hit harder than before.

👉 Estrogen fluctuations weaken recall, trigger sudden crying spells, and heighten reactivity.
👉 ADHD already impacts working memory and emotional regulation, so when menopause or perimenopause hormones shift, the overlap can feel brutal.

You may:
🌀 Forget why you walked into a room
🌀 Burst into tears over something small
🌀 Feel raw and overwhelmed from everyday stress

💡 The good news: You’re not going crazy. These are predictable hormonal changes layered on top of ADHD. Once you understand the ADHD–perimenopause connection, you can replace shame with compassion—and start building tools that work for this season of life.

Does this sound familiar? Brain fog that makes it harder to think clearly. Mood swings that hit without warning. Irritability or anger outbursts at things that never used to bother you. These aren’t just random—they’re tied to hormone shifts. Estrogen decline weakens memory, focus, and patience. Progesterone decline removes a natural calming effect. Together, they magnify ADHD traits. So when you snap faster, forget mid-task, or feel like your brain won’t cooperate—it’s not your fault. It’s chemistry. Recognizing the role of hormones helps remove shame and open doors to real solutions.

🌟 Learning flexibility promotes increased Self Esteem. 🌟

For kids with ADHD and Autism, flexible thinking can be tough. They may get stuck on a hyper-focused idea or want to keep talking about their special interest, even when the group has moved on. Or they might be so locked into their own plan that teamwork feels impossible. In the Minecraft Social Skills Group, Victoria Prisco, Licensed Therapist & Special Education Teacher, helps kids practice shifting gears in the moment. Maybe they want to build a castle, but the group needs a bridge—Victoria steps in with gentle coaching, guiding them to compromise, adapt, and stay engaged with peers. These real-time lessons in flexible thinking, teamwork, and perspective-taking help kids carry the skill beyond the game into classrooms, friendships, and family life.

✨ Practice flexible thinking in real time—while having fun.

Minecraft Therapy for Kids with ADHD, AUDHD & Autism (Ages 7–12)
Helping neurodivergent children break out of hyperfocus, practice collaboration, and build real-world social skills through Minecraft.

> Group Goal: Teamwork & Communication
Children with ADHD and Autism often hyperfocus on their own interests or builds, making it challenging to collaborate with peers or join group plans. In this group, kids are coached in the moment to:

✅ Tolerate breaking hyperfocus and shift toward teamwork.
✅ Set boundaries—and respect the boundaries of others.
✅ Express needs clearly and ask questions with confidence.
✅ Negotiate solutions directly with peers instead of relying on adults.

> Why it matters:
These aren’t just “game skills”—they’re life skills. Parents often notice children becoming more flexible, patient, and engaged in friendships, classrooms, and group activities outside of Minecraft.

📅 Starts Wednesday, October 15th – runs through December 30th
🕓 Limited to 10 participants per group (4:30 PM ET or 6:00 PM ET)
👩‍🏫 Led by Victoria Prisco, Licensed Therapist & Special Education Teacher
Victoria is in-network with most commercial insurance plans

Why ADHD Feels Different Now

If stimulants don’t feel like enough anymore, you’re not imagining it. ADHD during perimenopause feels different because your brain chemistry is literally changing. Estrogen drops → less dopamine + serotonin. Progesterone drops → less calm, less resilience. Oxytocin drops → loneliness, rejection sensitivity. For women with ADHD, these shifts magnify everything—brain fog, forgetfulness, mood swings, irritability, decision-making struggles. Suddenly tasks you once forced yourself through feel impossible. Emotional reactions feel bigger, faster, harder to control. This is not weakness—it’s biology. And once you see the hormone connection, you realize new strategies are possible.

🌟 Big feelings happen now—so do the strategies. 🌟

Kids don’t save their meltdowns or frustrations for therapy sessions—they happen at home, in the classroom, and even during play. That’s why the Minecraft Social Skills Group focuses on real-time learning, where children practice strategies right in the moment when emotions are high. Guided by Victoria Prisco, Licensed Therapist & Special Education Teacher, kids learn how to calm big feelings, manage frustration, and regulate emotions as situations unfold. But it doesn’t stop there—while exploring and building in Minecraft, they also practice flexible thinking, adapting when plans change, and learning to compromise. Along the way, kids learn how to foster friendships, connecting with peers in a safe and supportive environment. These skills—emotional regulation, flexibility, and social connection—don’t just stay in the game. They carry over into school, friendships, and home life, giving kids confidence and tools that truly stick.

✨ Build stronger responses, better friendships, and lasting skills.
