At the Midwest Psychological Services, we routinely see children, adolescents, and adults.   Our team has extensive training and experience  with autism, anxiety, depression, parent-child relationship struggles, life transitions, cognitive/emotional/behavioral regulation difficulties, giftedness, learning struggles, adoption issues,  caregiver fatigue, developmental trauma,  communication struggles, parenting, high conflict separated parents, divorce,  remarriage, and parent-adult child estrangement.

We know that what works for one individual or family may not be suitable for another.  We are responsive to your  values, beliefs, cultural background, and priorities.  We build upon your strengths, preferences, abilities, and goals to create an individualized, actionable plan.
