Watch for our us online as Smart Practice Network or SPN.
Promoting strengths & resilience for all kinds of gifted individuals and their families.
Not every gifted individual excels socially and academically. Nor do they fit into neat boxes. Emotional intensities, executive functioning challenges, sensory sensitivity, unique learning styles, uneven or asynchronous skill development, and, in some cases, learning disabilities are typical in some gifted individuals and may create challenges at home, in school and across other environments. With the right supports, interventions, and understanding, gifted individuals can become self-regulated, engaged, productive, and confident.
Please contact us for information about services, fees and scheduling. The practice offers sliding scale fees on a case-by-case basis.

RESPONDING TO CHANGING NEEDS
The practice supports each client along their unique journey.
“Talent, self-esteem, and confidence take years to develop and always remain fragile. These treasures can disappear if not nurtured and guarded. One must always protect a young person’s promise.”
