Gifted and Twice-Exceptional (2e) Counseling for gifted and twice-exceptional is available in-person or virtually. Don't let geography keep you from getting the help you need. (Limited to residents of Missouri.)
Gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) learners have both unique learning needs and specific social and emotional characteristics that need support. Concerns like anxiety, depression, and social relationships have to be viewed through the lens of their cognitive ability to see the factors influencing their well-being.
Unlimited Potential Counseling & Education Center was started by Emily Kircher-Morris, a nationally-recognized speaker, podcaster, and author on the topics of giftedness, twice-exceptionality, and neurodiversity. The need for support for these unique individuals has been the force that has grown Unlimited Potential Counseling & Education Center from a solo-practitioner office to one bursting at the seams with mental health counselors and tutors for gifted and 2e learners. Several of the other counselors at the office have been trained through Emily to support these unique kids, teens, and adults. We provide support for:
In-person counseling/therapy available for gifted and twice-exceptional in St. Louis, St. Charles, O'Fallon.
Virtual counseling services available for Kansas City, Columbia, and Springfield, Missouri. |
