Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Need mental health professional help!

Not that this is necessarily true in your case but our daughter was going spare at distressingly frequent intervals. A combination of poor social fit and academic fit appeared to be exacerbating her OEs. A grade skip and AoPS helped it at that time. I would consider meeting with her team at school were I you. YMMV

I understand the frustration of not finding the right resources. While Amen University offers online courses focused on brain health, including mental wellness strategies, they don't provide specific therapy or counseling services for children, particularly those who are gifted. However, their resources might offer some general insights into managing emotional challenges and improving mental well-being, which could complement other strategies you're exploring.

In your case, I would recommend continuing to search for professionals who specialize in working with gifted children and who accept insurance. It might take some persistence, but there are therapists who specialize in this area. Additionally, reaching out to local parenting groups or forums in the Phoenix area might provide personal recommendations or insights into providers who are a good fit for your daughter. Keep pushing forward, and I hope you find the support that works for you and your family.
