Mental Health Support for Neurodivergent and Highly Sensitive People in Whitefish Bay, WI
Having a neurospicy brain can be really tricky. Especially if you’ve just recently found out about it.
A lot of people come to us after being diagnosed later in life - or not even being officially diagnosed but putting some pieces together, especially after realizing their kids have neurodivergent characteristics as well.
That’s a lot to sort through.
How did everyone miss this?
What does this mean going forward?

How can I support my kids when their needs compete with mine?
How do I talk to my partner about what I need?
Well, I guess that explains a lot.
I’m really mad. And sad
