Challenges We Can Help You With

Chronic stress and anxiety are closely linked to nervous system dysregulation. Our self-regulation specialists work to restore balance by strengthening the body’s ability to respond calmly to stress. Clients often report feeling more grounded, less reactive, and better equipped to handle daily challenges with ease rather than relying solely on coping strategies.

Difficulties with emotional regulation, social interaction, or connection are often rooted in how the body processes stress and sensory input. SensoryWellness therapy helps clients build internal regulation first, creating the foundation for stronger emotional resilience, improved relationships, and greater confidence in social situations.

Sensory Processing Disorder affects how the brain interprets and responds to sensory input, often leading to overwhelm, avoidance, or emotional outbursts. SensoryWellness addresses SPD at its root by improving how the nervous system processes sensory information. Our individualized therapy helps clients feel more comfortable in their bodies and engage more fully in daily life.

Social skill challenges are often rooted in difficulties with self-regulation, sensory processing, and body awareness rather than a lack of social understanding or motivation. At SensoryWellness, our self-regulation specialists focus on strengthening the nervous system so clients can feel calm, grounded, and present in social situations. As the body becomes more regulated, social interactions feel less overwhelming and more natural. Clients often experience improved emotional awareness, greater confidence, increased flexibility, and a stronger ability to connect with others in meaningful and authentic ways.

Executive functioning skills such as planning, organization, time management, and follow-through depend on a well-regulated nervous system. SensoryWellness therapy strengthens the foundational sensory and motor systems that support these skills. Clients often experience improved organization, independence, and confidence as their ability to self-regulate improves.

Trauma lives in the body, not only in the mind. SensoryWellness specializes in helping clients regulate their nervous systems safely so healing can occur at a deeper level. Using gentle, body-based techniques, we help clients move out of survival mode and into a state of safety and connection. This supports emotional regulation, improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and often enhances the effectiveness of talk therapy.

ADD and ADHD are often rooted in challenges with regulation, attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. At SensoryWellness, we look beyond behavior and focus on how the body supports attention and organization. Through individualized sensory processing and reflex-based interventions, our self-regulation specialists help clients improve focus, regulation, and follow-through at school, work, and home.

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder often experience challenges with sensory processing, anxiety, emotional regulation, body awareness, and social engagement. At SensoryWellness, we use a bottom-up, body-based approach to strengthen the brain–body connection and help the nervous system process sensory input more efficiently. By addressing underlying sensory and motor patterns, our self-regulation solutions support improved comfort, emotional flexibility, attention, and participation in daily life for children, teens, and adults.

Misophonia is not just a sound sensitivity. It is a nervous system response. At SensoryWellness, we help clients reduce reactivity to triggering sounds by addressing how the body processes sensory input. Through targeted, individualized therapy, clients often experience decreased emotional and physical reactions, improved tolerance to everyday sounds, and a greater sense of calm and control.

Auditory Processing Disorder can make it difficult to interpret and respond to sounds, especially in busy or noisy environments. SensoryWellness therapy supports auditory processing by addressing sensory integration, regulation, and underlying motor patterns. As the nervous system becomes more organized, many clients experience improved listening, focus, and reduced auditory overwhelm.

Visual processing challenges can impact reading, coordination, attention, and daily functioning. At SensoryWellness, we address the physical and neurological foundations of visual processing, including eye tracking, posture, and sensory integration. Strengthening these systems helps clients process visual information more efficiently and reduces fatigue and frustration.

Learning challenges are frequently connected to underlying sensory, motor, and processing differences. SensoryWellness therapy addresses these root causes by strengthening foundational skills such as posture, eye tracking, coordination, and regulation. As these systems improve, many clients experience better attention, processing efficiency, confidence, and readiness for learning.

NVLD often involves challenges with visual-spatial processing, social cues, and motor coordination. At SensoryWellness, we address the sensory-motor and regulatory foundations that impact these areas. By improving body awareness, sensory integration, and self-regulation, clients are better able to navigate social situations, learning environments, and daily life with greater confidence and ease.

Tourette’s is often associated with challenges in nervous system regulation and sensory processing. Our therapy supports the body’s ability to regulate itself more effectively, helping reduce internal tension and improve overall stability. By addressing the sensory-
motor foundations of regulation, clients often feel calmer, more in control, and better able to manage daily demands.

Motor coordination challenges can involve difficulty with both fine and gross motor abilities, postural control, balance, timing, and overall movement efficiency. These challenges are often rooted in how the nervous system processes sensory and motor information rather than strength alone.

At SensoryWellness, our self-regulation specialists address the foundational sensory and neurological systems that support coordinated movement. Through individualized, body-based therapy, clients often experience improved postural stability, smoother movement patterns, increased coordination, greater physical confidence, and more ease with everyday tasks at home, school, work, and in social settings

Challenges with physical or emotional intimacy are frequently linked to sensory defensiveness, trauma, or nervous system dysregulation. SensoryWellness provides a safe and respectful space to address these challenges at their root. By helping clients feel more regulated and comfortable in their bodies, therapy often leads to improved connection, trust, and ease in close relationships.
