Perinatal Mental Health

The perinatal period, spanning pregnancy through the early years of parenthood, is one of the most demanding neurobiological transitions a person can experience. Postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, and the complex emotional and relational shifts of new parenthood affect both birthing and non-birthing parents and are significantly under-recognized. At the Center for Connection, we offer compassionate, nervous system-informed support for individuals and families navigating this season. We serve clients across our Pasadena and Santa Barbara locations.

Learning Disabilities

Learning disability evaluations at the Center for Connection are thorough, strengths-based assessments for children, adolescents, and adults who have struggled academically or with specific processing tasks. Our psychologists assess for dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, language and auditory processing disorders, visual processing differences, and nonverbal learning disabilities, along with the ADHD and anxiety profiles that frequently co-occur. Evaluations draw on cognitive assessment, academic achievement testing, phonological and language processing measures, and multi-informant input. The process concludes with a plain-language feedback session and a written report that serves as a roadmap of prioritized recommendations, including documentation suitable for school IEP or 504 accommodation requests.
