You've been trying to find your way back to your old self again, but are struggling and stuck. Something has to change. For some reason, it seems impossible to do things well enough at work or at school or at home with your family, maybe even with a new baby. You're feeling disconnected and worried about letting people down. It's gotten really hard to keep up. Being stretched so thin and constantly fighting to tread water is taking its toll on your patience, too. Every little thing is irritating. It feels so hopeless to not be able to just pull it together and be more like everyone else around you, especially if you're a new mom.

How we understand our life stories, how we share our stories with others and how we deal with life's challenges is important for all of us. Adoption adds a layer of complexity. Issues of attachment, identity, behavioral regulation, self-esteem and the impact of a difficult/unknown early history can take on added significance as children grow and mature into young adults. At The Cradle Center for Lifelong Support, I work with all members of the adoption circle. My expertise is in strengthening children and families by improving attachment, communication and understanding, with the goal of helping children/teens succeed.

School Issues (Academic Underachievement, Academic Counseling) Therapists
Students underachieve in school for a variety of reasons. Motivational problems, ADHD, and learning disabilities can all be a challenge to any parent. Child therapists, child psychologists, or school psychologists in 60201 can help to assess a child's needs and offer much needed help.

Academic counselors in 60201 help with learning issues, child education issues or ADD (attention deficit). They can work with academic underachievers who are quite bright, gifted and intelligent, as well as with children with developmental disabilities (i.e. disabilities students). Additionally, 60201 Therapists work with nonverbal learning disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and reading difficulties.

Children with problems at school, or who are failing at school in 60201 all have specific and unique instructional needs. A good 60201 academic counselor or school counselor will provide the individualized attention and support a student needs to succeed.

How can I tell if a therapist is right for me?
Therapists in 60201 are able to work with a wide range of issues and communities, including the BIPOC community in 60201. They offer in person sessions as well as Teletherapy in 60201

For example, if you're seeking a marriage counselor in 60201 you'll find that most therapists are trained in marriage counseling or couples counseling in 60201 and couples therapy. And they welcome families for family counseling in 60201 or family therapy in 60201.
