Finally! Healthcare that Values Your Whole Child
ROOT CAUSE | PARENT-LED | PDA-AFFIRMING
You’re not alone—and you’ve come to the right place.
Are you losing sleep over meltdowns?
Worried about your kid pooping?
Is bedtime a nightmare?
You’re not alone—and you’ve come to the right place.
I’m Dr. Joy, the “PDA Doc.” My mission is simple: to help neurodivergent children (especially PDA-ers) thrive through a root-cause, parent-led, PDA-affirming approach. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported—both you and your kiddo. Work with me, and we’ll partner to help your kid thrive.

Mornings that Feel Like Mission Impossible
Your child refuses to leave the house, and any little request triggers an epic meltdown.
Routine Rifts
Putting on clothes? Pooping? Bedtime? Every day tasks are a hopeless battle.
“No One Gets It!”
You’re hoarse from explaining, but friends, teachers—even professionals—make you feel unheard or, worse, like you’re overreacting.
The Constant Worry
You’re up at 3am Googling and wishing someone actually understood what’s going on.
It Doesn’t Have to be This Way
