Meet Elisa Garland, LPC
Counselor for Moms and Dads Raising Higher-Needs Kids & Adults with ADHD or Austim
Contracted Counselor with Sunrise Therapy Services, LLC
Parenting is hard enough without feeling like you have to figure everything out on your own.
Maybe your child has big reactions, sensory struggles, or challenges that make everyday routines feel anything but easy. Maybe you're navigating an ADHD or autism diagnosis, advocating for your child at school, or trying to find systems that actually work for your family. And maybe you're just plain exhausted from trying to keep everything running while managing everyone's needs—including your own.
You don't have to have all the answers to be a good parent.
Elisa works with parents raising higher-needs kids, including children with autism, ADHD, and medically complex needs. She also supports adults with ADHD or autism who are navigating everyday challenges with organization, task completion, and emotional regulation.
Elisa is supportive, practical, and judgment-free.
She understands that what works for one family might not work for yours. Together, you'll explore what's making things difficult, find strategies that fit your family's needs, and build routines that make everyday life feel a little more manageable. Whether you're working through parenting challenges, advocating for your child, or trying to better understand yourself, Elisa offers a space where you can talk honestly, ask questions, and figure things out without feeling like you should already have it all together.

When your child has ADHD, autism, sensory challenges, or complex medical needs, everyday parenting can come with extra layers. You might be navigating big emotions, difficult routines, school concerns, or the exhaustion of constantly advocating for your child.
Elisa helps parents understand their child's needs, explore practical strategies, and find approaches that work for their family. You don't have to do everything perfectly to be a good parent—and you deserve support along the way.
We provide virtual therapy for women throughout Missouri, including Cape Girardeau, Jackson, and surrounding Southeast Missouri communities.

Maybe staying organized, finishing tasks, managing emotions, or keeping up with daily responsibilities takes more energy than people realize. You might feel frustrated with yourself for struggling with things that seem easy for everyone else.
Elisa works with adults with ADHD and autism to better understand their needs and develop practical strategies for everyday life. Together, you can explore what works for your brain instead of constantly trying to force yourself into systems that don't fit.
Kristine helps moms work through the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum life, and adjusting to motherhood. Together, you can make sense of what you're feeling, quiet some of the pressure to be the “perfect mom,” and find your footing in this new season. You don't have to have it all figured out to deserve a little support.
-
You don't need another person telling you what you should be doing. Elisa's approach is supportive, practical, and focused on understanding what you and your family actually need.
Together, you'll look at what's working, what's not, and what changes might make daily life feel more manageable. The goal isn't perfection—it's finding realistic ways to navigate challenges, build helpful routines, and feel more confident moving forward.

Virtual therapy can make getting support more convenient, allowing you to connect from a space where you feel comfortable.
