Do you feel like you're constantly juggling your child's needs while struggling to find time for yourself?
Are you overwhelmed by the challenge of navigating school, home, and community resources for your child?
Does finding the right support for yourself feel exhausting and impossible at times?
Moving through these kinds of experiences can be hard and sometimes powerful feelings surface, like guilt, shame, and sadness that can start to impact other important relationships in your life. Processing these emotions in a formal setting can provide greater clarity and confidence to help you move forward in a way that aligns with you.

You know you “should” practice self-love, but your inner critic is so much louder

As mental health concerns rise, especially among what’s been called the 'anxious generation' (a term coined by Jonathan Haidt), the pressure to fit in isn’t just affecting Gen Z. In today’s cancel culture, where criticism can feel ever-present, the urge to align, say and do the 'right' thing, look a certain way, and show up as the best parent, partner, student, or employee has become a survival instinct. But living like this—constantly trying to follow a script—can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, and at risk of mistreatment.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
