KIM RICHARDSON LINDLEY
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, I CADC II
In the therapeutic setting, the capacity to differentiate from the mind's ability to think complex truths, and some less than helpful untruths or cognitive distortions is illuminating and healing.

Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
At Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc. we strive to help our patients get the most out of their education.
We recognize that education is essential to thriving in this world. However, education isn’t easy for all students.
Students suffering from mental health issues may not be able to fully benefit from the education they are receiving. Anxiety, PTSD, lack of sleep and depression make it difficult to concentrate; eating disorders affect the brain’s ability to process information and to learn; high emotional intensity means that the pre-frontal cortex (which plays a central role in regulating cognitive control functions) may not be properly engaged.
Mental health is not the only issue that affects learning abilities.
Learning disorders can also affect your child or teen from benefiting from education. Sometimes these are difficult to detect. I think of a recent patient who was NOT diagnosed with learning disabilities until their senior year in High School! They always knew something was wrong, but were well behaved and got decent grades, so they flew under the radar.
At CTFT we not only look at your child’s mental health, but also your child’s ability to benefit from education. Our therapists are all trained to assess for educational needs during an intake and have been able to advocate for and support students and families in getting accommodations, if needed, and while dealing with mental health. We look out for warning signs of a learning disorder and refer promptly to educational testing as needed.
However, the wait lists are long and the educational psychologist’s testing abilities are impacted. Communication between different entities such as the psychologist, school and therapist can be difficult. We wanted to do better and are pleased to announce that we now offer educational and neurodevelopmental testing as part of our services!
CTFT now offers comprehensive evaluations for education under our roof, making CTFT a one stop place for the mental health and educational needs of your children and teens! We are pleased to announce that Darlene de Sousa, educational psychologist is our newest staff member, dedicated to the needs of our CTFT patients and of our community.
