In order for a child who is neurodiverse to function at their fullest potential they must be able to go beyond the basics at home, school, and in the community. Parents, siblings, and other caregivers must be mentally and emotionally healthy enough to take on highly interactive roles in creating systems that promote learning and growth. Sometimes even the strongest families need a little extra support.
Behavioral Health Therapy works with families, couples, and individuals to better navigate mental, social, and emotional issues related to neurodiversity. It seeks to help clients use their own strengths to overcome difficulties with anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma. The ultimate goal of Behavioral Health Therapy is to celebrate the client’s strengths and leverage them to find solutions that create change.
