Hello and Happy New Year!

I am very excited to fully launch my new ADHD/ASD clinic concept this year! Like we have started in the fall, I will be offering training sessions targeting the most common and challenging issues families with neurodivergence face. Trainings on emotion and behavior regulation, school problems, peer conflict, and many more will be based on the latest research and best practices for ADHD/autism care. We will also host special information and education sessions on topics such as neurodivergence and sleep, medication management, the impact of new AI chatbots on children with ADHD, and advocacy strategies for your child in school. Experts in the field will come and talk to you so you don't have to figure out on TikTok or Instagram what is valid and reliable information and what is a social media scam.

My goal for this clinic is to provide you with access to the best possible, integrated and evidence-based treatment for ADHD. Extensive scientific literature and my years of clinical experience demonstrate that the most beneficial approach for you and your neurodivergent child is to develop skills and learn strategies. Equipped with these tools you will parent better and more effectively and significantly ease everyday challenges. But most importantly, you will help yourself or your child to build the resiliency needed to prevent the common secondary problems like anxiety and depression or substance abuse that follow when regulation skills are lacking.

As a member, you can always reach out to me via phone, email, or text when you face challenging or overwhelming situations. I will do my best to respond immediately, and if that’s not feasible, I promise to get back to you by the end of the day.

To maintain this exceptional level of service—which traditional insurance-based practices cannot offer—we will keep the clinic small. We will be launching in the next few weeks, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please encourage them to register soon before spots fill up!

Please join us for a trial session to see if the clinic is fit for you.

Warm regards,

Hello Parents! You may have heard of my new ADHD/ASD clinic https://drcatrinrode.com/.
On September 30 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm there will be a training that might be interesting to many of you. Most problem behaviors in your child are due to a lagging skill rather than lack of will, poor motivation or manipulative behavior (as parents often suspect). If you can identify what skill is lacking or lagging, you can coach this skill and you will see significant behavior improvement. Learn how to do identify lagging skills in our next training. Please contact me if you are interested in participating in this virtual event.

Parents, we need to talk!

As we trying our best to keep our kids and teens from screen addiction and social media overuse, a whole new problem is brewing in the background. Chatbots, AI systems that generate human-like conversation are entering your child's live in a very dangerous way. Scientific American writes: "The language that AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they exude can make a user feel as though they truly understand and sympathize. These chatbots can make someone feel liked or even loved. They are programmed to help users feel like they’ve made a real connection. And as adolescents have a naturally developing fascination with romance and sexuality, if you feel ignored by the girls in your high school, well, now, on the nearest screen is a hot girlfriend who is constantly fascinated by you and your video games, or a super cute boyfriend whom you never had to engage in small talk with to form a bond."

This is a very dangerous new technology and I encourage every parent to pay very close attention to this development. Especially if you have a vulnerable child (e.g. a child/teen with social anxiety)!

Stay tuned for training opportunities in the our new clinic (https://drcatrinrode.com/) where you can learn strategies to address this new risk.

Hello families,
I have very exciting news! There is so much new research that tells us that the majority of mental health problems are preventable. But yet, the rates of childhood, teen and adult mental health diagnoses keep rising because mental health providers cannot bill insurance for those services (no illness or diagnosis, no service..).
I have always tried to figure out how I can do more to help families remain happy and resilient and strong rather than treat mental health problems that could have been prevented. I think I have figured it out by adopting the very successful direct care model that primary care providers are increasingly using. The OpenDoor clinic is a new (first of its kind) membership based clinic for the whole family, where you get access to the best research-based skill building and early intervention services PLUS direct coaching WHEN you need it by having direct access to me by phone or Zoom in the moment when you need help. Monthly membership fees are less than what your co-pays would be or what you pay for your streaming services. The number of members will be very limited. Please contact me for more information either through the OPENDOOR website or call 541 606 6070. https://drcatrinrode.com
