School Navigation & Emotional Health Support

Helping Parents Advocate with Confidence—Without Feeling Overwhelmed

If your child has Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism, or other emotional challenges, you may be wondering:

  • Does my child qualify for a 504 Plan or an IEP?
  • Why does the school say they're "doing fine" when they're clearly struggling?
  • How do I explain anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm in a school meeting?
  • Why do I leave meetings feeling dismissed, emotional, or defeated?
You are not alone—and you don't have to figure this out by yourself.

What This Service Is

A short-term, structured consultation and advocacy service designed to empower parents

School Navigation & Emotional Health Support helps you:

  • Understand how Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism, and emotional regulation challenges show up at school
  • Learn the difference between 504 Plans and IEPs
  • Prepare for school meetings with clarity and confidence
  • Advocate effectively without feeling overwhelmed or emotionally flooded
  • Translate mental health needs into school-appropriate language
Important: This is not therapy and not legal representation. It is expert guidance, preparation, and support—so you can show up informed and steady.

Who This Is For

This service is a good fit if your child:

  • Struggles with school anxiety, avoidance, or shutdowns
  • Has depression affecting motivation, attendance, or stamina
  • Is overwhelmed by transitions, testing, or workload
  • Has emotional outbursts, withdrawal, or frequent nurse/counselor visits
  • Has ADHD or Autism with co-occurring anxiety or mood challenges
  • Is "holding it together" at school but falling apart at home

And if you, as a parent:

  • Feel anxious or emotional in school meetings
  • Aren't sure what to ask for—or how to ask
  • Feel like the school doesn't fully understand your child
  • Want support without committing to long-term therapy or advocacy
  • Need clear, actionable guidance during a specific challenge

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is this different from therapy?
Therapy focuses on your child's emotional health and skill-building. School navigation support focuses on helping you as a parent understand school systems, communicate needs, and prepare for meetings. Sessions are always separate.
Q: Will you attend all school meetings?
No. Attendance is optional and limited based on the package you choose. Most families benefit from preparation and guidance more than in-person attendance.
Q: Is this legal or educational advocacy?
No. This service helps parents understand rights, communicate effectively, and prepare for meetings—it does not provide legal advice or representation.
Q: What if my child is already in therapy with you?
School navigation services can be offered as a separate add-on with reduced rates. These services are kept completely separate from therapy to maintain ethical boundaries and protect your child's therapeutic space.
Q: Who is this best for?
Families where the child has anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, or emotional regulation challenges, and parents want support navigating meetings, understanding accommodations, or translating mental health needs into school language.

You Don't Have to Do This Alone

Navigating school supports for a child with anxiety, depression, or emotional challenges is hard—especially when systems don't always see what you see. This service helps you understand your options, prepare thoughtfully, and advocate calmly and confidently.

Support without overwhelm. Guidance without pressure.
