Parenting a neurodivergent child can feel overwhelming — especially when traditional strategies don’t seem to work.
If your child struggles with big emotions, attention challenges, school stress, social difficulties, or sensory sensitivities, you are not alone. Many families in Santa Monica, Culver City, Manhattan Beach, and surrounding West Los Angeles communities are navigating similar experiences.
At JRE Family Therapy, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children and parents seeking support with ADHD, autism spectrum differences, anxiety, and related challenges. My goal is to help your child feel understood and empowered — and to help you feel confident and supported as a parent.
It’s all about connection through relationships. How you relate to yourself, your partner, your child, and even your work all depend on how connected you feel. With a deep-rooted respect for every individual’s unique experience and a belief in everyone’s capacity for growth, insight, and change, I support you to figure out how to get reconnected.
