Eric Whittington, Executive Functions Coach

Eric works with clients on key areas related to executive functioning, such as organization, planning, prioritization, multitasking, self-control, and focus to ultimately make the process of goal setting and achievement habitual. Eric's intervention style is two-pronged and involves (a) creating individualized strategies to exercise and strengthen executive functioning skills, and (b) identify and deploy external tools to offload work where necessary and possible. With each client, the ultimate goal is to not only address the most pressing, immediate challenges, but develop systems that will be useful in all stages of life.


Dr. Megan Connell will be hosting a women’s low sensory board game night featuring Wingspan

There are so many amazing board games out there to to learn how to play! While many gaming stores offer demo nights for games they can often be in a loud overstimulating environment that might not feel welcoming to women gamers. Our low-sensory women's only game night is for women to come in and learn about different amazing boardgames and try their hand at a round or two of the games! Dr. Megan Connell, author of Tabletop Role-Playing Therapy, will be leading these nights helping players learn the gaming mechanics, strategy and answering questions that anyone might have. No experience is needed!
