Are you or your child facing learning, social, behavioral, or mental health challenges? You’re not alone, and seeking support is a powerful first step. As a specialist in working with neurodiverse children, teens, and adult students, I help clients improve educational, social, behavioral, and vocational functioning. Together, we’ll identify your unique strengths and concerns, set meaningful goals, and create a personalized, strength-based, neuro-informed plan. Clients report a positive impact from my support.
We offer therapy, training, consultation, and diagnostic assessments. Our evaluations include psychoeducational, school-based neuropsychological, and educationally related mental health assessments. We test for learning disabilities (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia), ADHD, autism, annd mental health diagnoses such as anxiety and depression.
We believe everyone can thrive with the right support and environment. Our integrated approach brings together all the systems around you, ensuring care is truly collaborative and personalized. We walk alongside you every step of the way. Our practice was founded on experience, passion, and a genuine commitment to helping others grow.

Testimonial: My son was struggling daily with stress, anxiety, chronic pain and headaches. After working with Misty; using different techniques and trialing different styles, I think she found that CBT really works with his analytical brain. I started noticing big changes in all areas of his life in a short amount of time. We highly recommend Misty!
