We are one of the few in person clinic servicing the unique social and emotional needs of Gifted Children and Adults in the state of Oregon.

The latest research in Neuroscience informs our work.

We are committed to lifelong learning so we can provide the best care possible.

Our founder is active in the Oregon State Legislature, Advocating for Gifted Education.

We have connections with over 30 clinicians in the Portland Metro and beyond so that clients have easy access to a wide variety of services.

We are 100% committed to the holistic care of the whole person. Mind, Body and Spirit.

Depending on your child’s age and presenting issue, you may be asked to participate in sessions with or without your child. If you would like updates on your child’s care we can schedule a parent session. During the parent session I will give you a comprehensive overview of our work, make suggestions to implement at home and answer questions.

Parent Consultations

Parents do the best they can. There is no shame in asking for help. We all are imperfect and need support and coaching when challenges arise.

Coordination with other care providers.

Participation in treatment or educational planning meetings.

While we are not in-network with any insurance companies and are not on any insurance panels, many insurance plans provide out-of-network mental health coverage. For our clients that wish to use their insurance and have out-of-network coverage, we provide monthly statements that they can submit to their insurance companies for partial reimbursement.

If you are interested in using your insurance to cover a portion of the session fee, we recommend reaching out to your insurance company and asking them if they cover out-of-network mental health services, and if so, at what rate they reimburse.

Therapy can significantly enhance your child’s wellbeing. The results and recommendations often help your child in many areas of life. Additionally, therapy is an investment of your time and resources and can be a gift to your child to help unlock their potential and ability to thrive!

In order to provide effective therapy, clients attend sessions weekly at the start of therapy. Once they have made progress and have met their goals, the frequency is reduced in preparation for wrapping up therapy, at which point, clients will be invited to return if they ever need additional support or a “tune-up.”

Sessions are 50 minutes in length.
