I offer counseling services, support groups, trainings for professionals and presentations for groups large and small.
Counseling Services I provide individual counseling for gifted and 2e adults, adolescents and children, as well as family therapy. Much of the work that I do for children is through working with their parents.
I work together with you to create a plan of action that works for your specific situation. This may include office visits, phone sessions, or a combination. Check this space for updates about video conferencing for counseling as well. Most of my clients meet with me weekly, but some come every other week or monthly. The appropriate frequency depends on the issues we are working on, and what level of support you need. I also have "intermittent" clients -- people who see me frequently for a few months, take a break, then come back again later (sometimes with the same concerns, sometimes with new ones). My current in-person office hours are on Sunday only. Phone appointments can take place throughout the week.
My fee for individual counseling is $110/50-minute hour. My fee for couples or family counseling is $150/50-minute hour. I do not work directly with insurance companies, but I am happy to provide you appropriate paperwork so you may request reimbursement from your provider or spending account.
Support Groups
I am currently offering my Decoding your Complex Child discussion group in San Jose and Redwood City. I am also qualified to lead SENG-model Parent Groups (click here for more information). I am happy to bring either of these to your organization.
Professional Training I provide training to mental health, education and other professionals on topics relating to giftedness, twice-exceptionality, and sensory integration. I can customize a program to fit your needs, from an hour to a full day and beyond. Please contact me at mikag@pacbell.net with your needs, and we can put together a program that will be thought-provoking and enjoyable.
Presentations I love talking with groups, large or small on a variety of topics, including:
- Parenting your gifted child
- Understanding the needs of the sensory-sensitive child
- Educational options for the gifted and twice-exceptional
- Anxiety and Perfectionism: Learning to cope
Please contact me for more information.
