Therapy and Evaluations in Ventura, California & Las Vegas, NV

Are you struggling with learning, anxiety, depression, and attention deficit and you need assessment or therapy right away? Or perhaps your child is exceptionally gifted but struggling to reach their potential, with yet another failing report card on the way and it is clear that your child needs help. It leaves you completely overwhelmed, feeling like you are the only person trying to do anything about it as the school is letting it all happen. You see several struggles in reading, writing, organization, forgetting things learned, making the same mistakes over and over again? Do you wonder if your child needs IEP/504 or gifted education?

You are ready for a real change

You’ve tried a little meditation here and there. You go to the gym, you do the “self-care” but you seldom really feel good and content. You aren’t sure exactly what you need, if you need a counselor, a coach, a psychiatrist, or a psychologist. But, you know you need something, and you are tired of waiting to fully enjoy your life.
