Dr. Dwight Hood

Children and adolescents with learning differences can often have a tough time at school and in their communities. Understanding information in the classroom when being taught can be as hard as dealing with relationships. This presents a variety of expectations that require attention to detail, focus, and planning that are often difficult for diverse learners to handle effectively without help. These challenges are similar to what adults face when navigating work, family, and overall life demands. I seek to help all children, adults, and their families. I value all people with learning differences that make day to day life experiences demanding. I advocate for all by assisting with learning and emotional strengths, and areas of need to foster the growth and skills needed to help people prosper.

I offer therapy to foster and develop a sense of safety and connection.. I want all of the children, teens, and adults to feel supported and empowered to handle life's challenges.

My approaches include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Person-Centered Therapy

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Coaching for executive functioning

Educational Advocacy

I am confident that I can be empathic and help us work together to provide the necessary tools for success. I look foward to working with you and your family.

I focus on the following challenges:

Anxiety

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Autism Spectrum

Depression

Developmental Disorders

Intellectual Disability (ID)

Emotional Disturbance

Grief and Loss

Learning Disabilities

Psychoeducational testing
