Today we are joined by Kelly Nicassio who has graciously agreed to come chat with Dr. Bahr and Jody about her daughter's PANS/PANDAS journey and insight as an LMFT.  

We cover:   

• Kelly shares her background as a therapist & what initially brought her into the PANS/PANDAS world

• The story around her daughters own PANS/PANDAS onset

• How Kelly’s personal experience with PANS/PANDAS has changed the way she approaches therapy for these families 

• Kelly’s introduction to Resilience Naturopathic and how the homeopathic healing journey has been going for her daughter

• If you are new to therapy - where do you start?

• Strategies that may be helpful for managing PANS/PANDAS at home

• The beautiful marriage of homeopathy alongside therapy and how they can work so well hand in hand (in the right circumstances AND when the timing is right)

• When therapy is NOT useful for a PANS/PANDAS child, and honestly - how it can be counterintuitive if approached too early

• The importance of parental self-care and the huge benefits therapy can have PLUS how therapy for siblings can give them a safe space to process
