This includes individuals with conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other learning or developmental differences.

Group Therapy
Groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Other members of the group often help you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge, and hold you accountable along the way. Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own problems in perspective.
Art Therapy
Research is mounting that shows the benefits of art-making for enhanced mental well-being. This includes reducing cortisol levels, encouraging positive mental states, and strengthening different pathways in the brain.
