Group Begins September 2024

​

​

If you've navigated your way to this page, it's likely because you are deeply concerned about your child or feel at a loss due to the toll of neurodivergent parenting. Odds are there is a child in your life suffering from anxiety, depression, selective eating, sensory processing difficulties, or diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS/AE, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD), Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), Reactive Attachment Disorder, etc.

​

Maybe you are already in that group of families who have tried a long list of recommended therapies and found that, for the most part, it was not helpful enough, at least not for long.

If the above describes you, I have a clue about how you feel.  

​

Parenting is especially difficult when a neurodivergent child experiences symptoms of an overactive nervous system that get labeled as “behavioral issues” or “psychiatric disorders.”

Since 2016 I have worked with PANDAS/PANS families with the most complex circumstances.

In 2018, my own family joined the PANS journey with what appears as a second onset.

 

I often hear how difficult it is to parent a neurodivergent child. Most people who do not have a close interaction with a neurodivergent child do not understand the toll it takes for the parents, siblings, and the neurodivergent child to live with the daily impact of any one of these diagnoses. 

I do not have simple or easy answers, but I have insights from years of the journey with my family and clients. 

 

PANDAS/PANS/AE is often the root cause of most mental health symptoms among children and is usually missed or undiagnosed. Often, it takes years to get a proper diagnosis, and by then, the condition becomes chronic, and the family/individual experiences symptoms of complex PTSD and burnout.

​

Since PANDAS/PANS/AE is complex, it requires a comprehensive intervention that targets all aspects of wellness (physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual). 

My clinic is small and can't accommodate the growing need for parental guidance. I have created this program precisely for that - helping you get informed and gain enough support to tailor an intervention plan that is comprehensive enough and fits your unique context.
 

​In this four-month membership program, parents of neurodivergent children will have access to the recordings of the ETI Parental Series and monthly live sessions with me, where I will be available to answer questions related to the topic of the month. At the end of this program, you will know what needs to be included in your child's intervention plan and in what order.

 

The live sessions are 90 minutes in length, and we meet for monthly Zoom sessions that will take place on Sunday mornings EST. In addition, you will join a WhatsApp group that I moderate with daily communication with group members.
 

This group is limited in size, so over four months, we will be able to learn from one another, share info, get support, and tailor an all-wellness intervention plan for our PANDAS, ourselves, and the entire family.
Participation requires a 4-month commitment for this series.

What are the main objectives of this program:

1.  Get access to ETI parents webinar series (5 hours of recorded webinars worth $220).

• Neurodivergent Parenting with emphasis on PANDAS/PANS/AE as the root cause

• Meltdowns, Stress, and Grounding

• Food & Mood, Inflammation & Immunity

• Self Compassion for Neurodivergent Parents & Children.

   At your own pace, you will view a video that will introduce you to each monthly meeting topic, in addition to other topics that will be covered.

2. Learn what needs to be included in a therapeutic intervention plan.

3. Learn how to respond to meltdowns.

5. Learn about neuropsych evaluation and when and when not to rely on them in the PANDAS/PANS/AE intervention process.

6. Learn about sustainability plans.  Parents of a child, especially with PANDAS/PANS, lead to burnout and complex PTSD; what is the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD.

6. Learn how to utilize self-compassion in your day-to-day life as an antidote for child/parental/family complex PTSD and burnout.

7. Have access to a live WhatsApp group that is facilitated by Dr. Gertel Kraybill and will provide ongoing responses to questions by the facilitator and other parents.

8. Use the support and learn from the experience of other parents that are dealing with similar issues through the WhatsApp group.
