You are gifted–or were a gifted child, but now do not identify with that label. Family members may call you “too intense” or “too sensitive.” Your peers may not have had the same desire for deep conversations or quest for justice that you do. Teachers may have told you that you “have potential,” but you never feel like you have met others’ or even your own expectations.  You may have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or a mood disorder, but none of these diagnoses seem to fit exactly.  Most importantly, the treatment you have sought hasn’t helped.

You are not alone. Many gifted individuals have similar experiences.

My name is Marcia McKinley, and I specialize in working with gifted, twice-exceptional, and highly sensitive adolescents and adults. I have immediate openings available for virtual appointments. Please contact me at 703-713-2442 or DrMcKinley@AdvancingInspiredMinds.com.
