Gabrielle Anderson is terrific. Same issues with my 9 year old son.gabrielle [at] hallowellsfo.com (gabrielle[at]hallowellsfo[dot]com)www.hallowellSFO.comUC Berkeley has a psychology program that also provides assistance to this situation. Its a wait list but half the price.Gabrielle studied at UCB who told us about the program.
We just finished with extensive neuropsych testing for my 6yo daughter at Westcoast Children's Clinic in Oakland. The Dr. whom we were placed with was AMAZING! I suspect anyone you get there will be fantastic. My kiddo has a rare disorder which causes anxiety and OCD. The Dr went above and beyond to research it and figure out how it was affecting my kid. She was also an amazing advocate for us in talking to her school. Unfortunately, she is leaving Westcoast at the end of this month and opening up her own practice in Rockridge, doing the same testing, etc. It actually might be easier to get in to her, because we had to wait awhile to get into Westcoast (totally worth it!). Dr's name is Rebecca Gitenstein (dr.rebecca.gitenstein [at] gmail.com)
Good luck Mama!
If you suspect giftedness mixed in with the anxiety and SPD, look to the Summit Center in Walnut Creek
