Welcome to Wade and Root
How I can help…
…Avoidance, excessive worry, shutting down, skin picking, and more. Childhood anxiety can manifest in many different ways. As the expert on your own child, I will collaborate with you to develop a specialized plan to bring them relief.
Children
…Social anxiety, perfectionism, performance anxiety, panic. Anxiety often focuses on the things we care about most, which tend to shift in adolescence. I will work with your teen to help them balance what they value with healthy coping skills, perspective, and different ways of thinking.
Adolescents
…Perfectionism, existential worry, intense emotions, rigidity, social struggles. Their brains are moving fast in incredible ways but sometimes in distressing ways. If your child is gifted and experiencing high levels of anxiety, you are in the right place. As a mom of a gifted child and having worked with many gifted children and adolescents, I encourage you to schedule a consult call so we can talk about how therapy can help and the ways we can support your child together.
Gifted Individuals
…Anxiety is all too familiar, or maybe it’s hitting for the first time. Life changes - the start of college, becoming a parent, retirement - or maybe you don’t even know why. Whether you have been managing anxiety for a while, or all of a sudden it’s weighing on you, together we can formulate a path that meets your needs and helps you meet your goals.
