A licensed clinician and consultant, Melissa has been working with neurodivergent children, adolescents and adults, including those who are gifted and 2e, since 2003. Melissa Sornik, LCSW has created a unique family-centered practice for gifted and twice exceptional (2e) children, adolescents and young adults. Specialized services support the social, emotional and academic needs of gifted and 2e

learners, including those challenged by executive functioning and self-regulation difficulties, anxiety, ADHD, Dyslexia or an autism spectrum disorder. We offer a positive and strength-based approach to treatment in which we identify and value the abilities of every client to foster positive outcomes including confidence and healthy self-esteem. A range of approaches, including CBT, are adapted and applied to individual, group and family counseling and psychotherapy. All counseling focuses on identification of client strengths which are then implemented to address areas of challenge. Parent workshops, support groups, individual coaching and psychotherapy provide an opportunity for parents and caregivers to join a welcoming and non-judgmental community in which they can share parenting experiences and acquire new strategies and skills. Individual sessions, groups and workshops are facilitated by Maratea Cantarella, LMSW. After-school and weekend programs for children and teens foster social thinking and collaborative problem solving skills, self-regulation and self-awareness through talent development in areas of fantasy and strategy game groups, STEAM, and mentoring in areas of mutual special interest. (See the Talent Development Connection page for program news and information. The practice offers on and off-site consulting and support services for home and school as well as participation in school-based team meetings and CSEs.
