Children, teens, and adults struggling with executive functioning challenges can develop symptoms of anxiety and depression. In turn, people who struggle with anxiety and depression can have trouble with school or work performance, behavior, and executive functioning. When considering your, your child, or your teen’s difficulties, it is important to contemplate all possible cause and effect connections.
In this series of articles, Dr. Davenport outlines some of the common symptoms of these challenges and how to best address these needs.

Contact us to make an appointment for research-based counseling focused on helping you, your child, or your teen develop skills to decrease symptoms of anxiety or sadness.
During a thorough evaluation, questions are asked to either identify or exclude anxiety or mood disorders. If these disorders are present, an appropriate management plan should be developed to address your child’s specific needs. Often, goal-oriented counseling is an important part of this plan.
