Client Feedback

Dr. Sasha Hileman is truly a gem. We were on her waitlist for years, and finally got the chance to work with her. She is a top-notch child psychologist who has a deep understanding of neurodivergent children and their development. Her patience and caring nature helped her quickly build a great rapport with my son, and her gentle guidance has already led to noticeable positive results.

Dr. Hileman’s expertise goes beyond just working with children; she is also exceptionally skilled in parenting coaching. Her insights and advice have been invaluable to me as I navigate the challenges and joys of raising a neurodivergent child. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her support and look forward to continuing our work with her for years to come. I am very grateful for everything she has done and continues to do for our family.

The Impact of Social Media on Young Men

One major concern is the effect of social media on mental health. Studies have linked prolonged social media use to increased risks of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem among young people. For young men, who may feel societal pressure to appear strong and stoic, these platforms can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy.

Building Resilience in Children Facing Academic Pressure

Academic pressure is a growing concern for parents, as children face high expectations from schools, peers, and even themselves. Building resilience—the ability to adapt and thrive despite setbacks—is crucial for children to navigate these demands without sacrificing mental health. Grounded in psychological research, this blog offers parents practical, empathic ways to foster resilience in their children.

The Healing Power of Nature for Neurodivergent Children

For neurodivergent children—those with conditions like autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorders—the world can feel overwhelming, with sensory overload, social challenges, and emotional regulation often posing daily hurdles. Emerging research highlights nature as a powerful ally in supporting their well-being, offering a calming, inclusive environment that fosters growth and resilience.
