Therapy and Assessment Services for Adults, Adolescents, and Kids
with Specialization in Autism, ADHD, and Anxiety
Empowering neurodivergent individuals of all ages to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives. We offer individual and family therapy with a specialization in parenting, child and adolescent therapy, as well as supporting the needs of autistic women and women with ADHD.
We're here to provide insight, clarity, and tools for navigating modern parenting. While diagnostic labels offer a starting point, our approach remains person-centered. Believing children do their best, we collaborate with you to create supportive environments tailored to their unique profiles.
THERAPY AND ASSESSMENT
Founded in 2011, Connected Strides initially focused on child and adolescent therapy. While youth remains our passion, we now support individuals across the lifespan. Specializing in neuro-divergent needs, like autism, ADHD, or unique learning profiles, we harness strengths for success. We also specialize in couples, helping parenting and relationships thrive through better communication and collaboration.
SERVICES
Delivering evidence-based holistic care for children, teens, and parents, we're a boutique practice with a purpose. Our dedicated clinicians maintain a small caseload, ensuring tailored, high-quality care that meets your needs. Serving Encino, San Fernando Valley, and West LA families, we also offer telehealth for all California residents.
Seeking a space to be your true self, supported and empowered? With expertise in addressing anxiety, depression, and ADHD, we adopt a person-centered approach. Our focus is on your growth and healing through gaining insight to reshape your narrative, fostering greater thriving within your present relationships.
Concerned about your child's struggles? We specialize in child and teen therapy, believing in their potential to thrive. We have the required expertise in autism, ADHD, anxiety, and unique learning profiles like giftedness to uncover growth together.
Concerned about your child's unique learning needs such as giftedness, attention issues, or sensory challenges? Tailored instruction matters. Psycho-educational testing unveils strengths, weaknesses, and ideal learning settings.
Parenting is both rewarding and daunting, tied to our history and partner dynamics. When a child faces behavior or mood issues, our parental approach is key. We provide support to couples for child well-being, offering individual or family work as needed.

Hilyah has been an incredible source of support for our family. Hilyah was so gentle and accommodating to our family and our questions throughout the process.
Chloe, parent of 4year old
We felt truly seen in this process. The evaluation was thoughtful, clear, and practical—every recommendation translated into something we could use at school right away. Thank you for treating our son with patience and respect and for helping us advocate effectively.

As a psychoeducational specialist, she didn’t just assess my son—she truly advocated for him.
