ADHD
We know kids. Every kid can be distracted, impulsive, unfocused, bored, distracted, and fidgety. Every child and adolescent may have times when they are not focused and are inattentive—the same is true of every adult!
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, on the other hand, is a neurodevelopmental disorder chronically affecting attention, focus, and impulsivity, with long term consequences in school and work, in home and with friends, in life choices and life opportunities.
At Empire Minds, we will help you understand your child’s needs, the diagnosis and come up with behavioral management plans and organizational strategies to help your child.
Behavioral Disorders
Every kid breaks a rule now and then. It is part of growing up. On the other hand, sustained periods of aggressive and violent acts, destructive and deceitful behavior can be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed.
We will help you understand your child, and we will help your children understand themselves. Our goal will be to help you regulate and manage symptoms, set limits, ensure that we get the right diagnosis, and know when and how to involve other adults including but not limited to schools, education consultants, hospital-based programs.
Blended Families
Divorce. Separation. Loss. New marriages, new arrangements, stepparents.
We welcome the opportunity to work with blended families, families in transition, and families facing internal conflict.
Every family is complex in its own way and we respect the challenges, trials, sadness, hope, and frustration of contemporary family life. Our goal is to be there for you, honestly and transparently.
At Empire Minds, we will work sympathetically and transparently with clients in families that are struggling. We believe in closely coordinating with members of the family, even if they are in conflict, in the service of providing the best care to our identified client.
Despite our willingness to work with blended and transitioning families in all their complexity, including legal complexity, we are not forensic consultants and not accepting referrals for those specifically seeking forensic/legal consultation.
