This is a group for parents of kids with ADHD who are on medication and who are not. We guide parents in dealing with the different issues that present for kids with ADHD. There are often issues with organization at home and school that can wreak havoc on a family. We also discuss issues with the inability to keep a routine, time management, keep up with academics, hygiene, nutrition, sleep and a very messy bedroom. We gather as a group so parents can support each other in their journey to walk beside their adolescent/child with ADHD.

For over 20 years, I've specialized in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, providing treatment to children and adults. I assist individuals with exploring and expanding their abilities in the areas of adaptive social-emotional development, self awareness, and confidence building to allow them to meet the demands of daily living. I work closely with family members in developing home strategies including behavioral supports, environmental modifications, and visual supports, that promote growth and independence. Therapy goals focus on the formation of skills that allow the individual with ASD to improve their quality of life.
We have several therapists, as well as psychiatric nurse practitioners. We utilize a team approach in order to ensure you receive the best treatment possible.

WELCOME TO LIVING A LIFE OF BALANCE All of us face struggles in our lives. We experience problems and difficulties sometimes on a daily basis and other times only occasionally. When we feel stuck we have a tendency to repeat negative or self-defeating patterns/behaviors. This repetition often causes us to become overly critical of ourselves. Our work together is designed to help you to understand the why and how so that you can make the changes you want in your life. Change is never easy; however it is so worth it!! You will be pleasantly surprised by how happy you will become.

Hello. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Doylestown, King of Prussia and virtually in PA. I work with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Self Harm, OCD, ODD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Addictions, ASP, Suicidal Ideation and many other mental health Issues. I can evaluate for ADHD in the initial session. I have consults with parents who are hesitant or not quite ready for their child or adolescent to start medication but want to become knowledgeable in case that time comes. I strive in my sessions to gather all pertinent information in order to prescribe the psychiatric medications that will best suit my clients needs.
This is a group addressing how we hurt ourselves by displacing our emotional problems on our bodies. Participants must be ready to move beyond their self-harming behaviors. We discuss how self-harming behaviors are addictive because they were 'adapted' for dealing with adverse childhood events. We learn how to safely reveal and re-'view' the negative emotions and core beliefs. A music selection from one participant enables everyone to find their personal imagery and words to 'express the distress' of events that still hurt. This sharing empowers participants to choose creative action even under the stress of daily life.

I developed a 'whole brain' creative arts therapy to help clients find the words and images that can express their thoughts and emotions. This enables clients to 'see' how their negative behaviors originally developed as a way to cope with high levels of interpersonal stress. The BrainsmART process empowers clients with strategies that organize their emotions as they discharge past traumas from their body and mind. Once emotions are 'seen' and 'named', clients can re-'view' the memories and beliefs and re-route their self-destructive behaviors. The process works creatively to redirect addictive urges into self-empowering action. Call me at 267.261.9987
Midlife is the beginning of many transitions in women's lives. Change occurs in many spheres as children leave home; parent's age, and relationships face new challenges. This group will help women at midlife and beyond (40 and up) address the issues that arise as they move through life's stages and explore strategies to help them thrive and open up new paths of well-being and self-efficacy at every age. Mindfulness practices will be incorporated in the ongoing group process to help manage stress and address complex issues. Sandy Berstein, LMFT, MSN, CS

I work with individuals, couples and families. It doesn't matter how many people are sitting in the office, I view each individual within the context of the systems they live in each day. We are all part of many systems, marital, family, school, community, work. The relationships and importance each of these systems place on individuals can sometimes can lead to breakdowns in communication and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Treating the dysfunction in the relationship often restores the feeling of wholeness in an individual and of course leads to stronger deeper relationships between individuals.
Life gives plenty of reasons to get angry, sad, scared, and frustrated-and those feelings are okay. Sometimes it can feel like emotions are taking over, spinning out of control with a mind of their own. To make matters worse, these overwhelming emotions might be interfering with school, relationships, and living a happier life. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Social Emotional Learning skills can help! This skills-based group, learn learn to stay calm and mindful in difficult situations, effectively manage emotions, reduce the pain of intense emotions and improve relationships. Great for Middle School students experiencing an array of issues.

In this group Eileen and a therapist identify and discuss how ADHD affects children and also their parents. We discuss how ADHD can affect school, home, sports, and a child or adolescent social environment. We guide parents on how to handle issues that come up for ADHD kids with medication side effects, appetite, sleep, emotional ups and downs, impulsivity, and academics. Embracing the positive qualities of your child/teen with ADHD while also learning to manage the not-so-positive qualities that come with this diagnosis is equally important. These kids need encouragement and to be recognized for their wins.
