Gifted teens and adults find counseling to be a safe and accepting place for self-expression, being real, and to learn and practice self-management techniques, communication and social skills, or whatever else is needed. The guidance and supportive environment we provide is ideal for learning positive coping skills. The gifteds propensity towards perfectionism and their attraction to extremes should be carefully managed to ensure their talents have a life-enhancing effect. For children, therapy usually involves play, art, or music for processing emotions, which can help them learn to identify and express feelings in meaningful, healthy and safe ways. Lynn speaks to her experiences as an gifted person and describes the unique challenges faced by people with high IQ. Once identified, we practice these in a safe and caring environment. When gifted (talented and creative) adults engage in therapy, it can lead them to happier, more fulfilling lives better relationships and more satisfying work. They like the company of adults or older kids: Gifted kids, because of their advanced intelligence, have difficulty relating to their peers. Extreme talent is almost assuredly a sign of gifted intelligence. Some kids are naturals at certain things, like sports, science, or the arts. We see our role as working collaboratively with you, so that together we come to understand underlying problems, and explore potential needed tools, skills and solutions. Gifted is just another word for exceptionally talented. Said another way, the way that gifted adults perceive their environment is more sensitive than the way the average person does. It means that the senses of gifted adults are more acute than the senses of the average person. The term multiple sensitivities refers to this group of common characteristics. Where we can, we use our senses - touch, and sight, and smell and sound - as conduits and amplifiers of beauty and possibility in life.Imagine feeling that special, competent feeling that comes with understanding and meeting the needs of your gifted child or teen-or yourself! When we work with gifted children, teens and adults, we are careful not to make assumptions about people just because they are gifted. The senses of gifted adults are more acute. We learn that play and fun are an endless source of rejuvenation and joy, and essential to our well-being. “The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.” We long for relationships and groups where our complex emotions can take root, grow wings, have life. We seek to create works of works of imagination which can ably bridge the unconscious and conscious realms and fortify our hungry spirits within. This is an interesting one, and its disputed. “Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. We thrive on the stimulus of that learning and on the capacity for the endless associative connections and new insights about ourselves and the world that is birthed. So we feed ourselves through intellectual growth and continuous learning. Lynn speaks to her experiences as an gifted person and describes the unique challenges faced by people with high IQ.
Our high intelligence and perceptivity interact in extraordinary and delight-filled ways, and in ways that may be either misconstrued and/or troublesome.

The psychological architecture of this extraordinary populace includes an extraordinary and complex cognitive capacity heightened experience of reality distinct and directive SELF, which shows up early in life, in the form of a strong will, a inner self-knowing not-to-be-ignored leanings towards things - oftentimes towards what is right and just – to interests all of which are fueled by an untameable curiosity and a vast imaginative inner-scape. Yet, many gifted adults do not have the self-knowledge, opportunities and set of circumstances that enables them to live fully, and to express themselves wholly in the world.
