Why I Created Teen FND Academy™

 

Dear Colleague,

After spending over 15 years in pediatric hospitals and clinics, I witnessed one painful truth again and again:
Families of teens with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) often leave the doctor’s office more confused and uncertain than when they walked in.
They’re told to wait it out.
Or try therapy because it's "just anxiety."
Or worse—told there’s nothing that can be done. 
But I knew this from my experience helping over 100 teens with FND and their parents - when teens are taught the right skills and the mindset—and when parents are part of the process—FND can be resolved. 
So I created Teen FND Academy™—not as another appointment or temporary fix, but as a full roadmap for recovery.
Here, families learn how to build confidence, restore function, and live their lives again. We don’t chase symptoms. We build resilience.
I’m honored to partner with providers like you who believe in giving families more than just a diagnosis. Together, we can help teens get their lives back the way they deserve.
Warmly,

From Trusted Pediatric Neurology Experts:

Nina Robinson, CPNP-PC

"I work in pediatric neurology and see patients with FND on a regular basis. I have known Dr. Lee for the past year and referred many patients with this diagnosis to her. I trust Dr. Lee completely, she is an expert in FND, with the tools to help. Under her guidance, patients have gotten better and they have lasting results. I appreciate Dr. Lee so much that Dr. Lee has straightforward educational videos available on YouTube for patients and families to access for learning purposes, for deepening their understanding about FND. I am fortunate to have such a dedicated expert like Dr. Lee. Thank you for everything you do for our teens!"

Katharine Meddles, MD

"As a pediatric neurologist, it can be a struggle to find therapists that are familiar with management for migraines and functional disorders of the nervous system. Dr. Lee has experience with these conditions and the feedback I have received from patients has been quite positive. I am so happy to have found Dr. Lee to help patients with conditions that can be debilitating and poorly responsive to medical therapies."

Jessica Litwin, MD

"Dr. Lee is amazing. She is knowledgeable and experienced. I refer patients to her frequently. Her multi-modality and evidence-based approach works so well with kids with chronic health issues. She has been successful in helping so many of my patients, who at times have complex issues. I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Dr. Lee and I recommend her highly."

Teen FND Academy™ Recovery Roadmap

Not just fewer symptoms - But more life.

Here is what families typically experience when they commit to this work. Recovery is NOT about waiting for symptoms to disappear - it's about taking back control, step by step.

Every teen's recovery journey looks different. But with consistent support and engagement, families no longer feel lost - and recovery becomes not just possible, but expected.

Week 1 - A Fresh Start
  • Finally understand what FND really is (and what it's not)
  • Set a clear, empowering goal for what "getting your life back" means to the teen
  • Build hope and direction from day one

"I learned how FND effects how I experience emotions and how it effects my braisn reaction to sensory experiences. I also learned the different kinds of ways that FND can show and the difference between chronic and acute pain!." - Arthur

Month 3 - Big Changes Begin
  • Teens start getting out of bed, returning to school, and rejoining their life
  • Symptoms become less disruptive - not because they've ignored, but because the teen is back in the driver's seat
  • Parents and teens are working as a team, not adversaries

"I learned techniques that made it so I've been symptom free for about four months." - Alex

Week 4 - A Strong Foundation
  • Learn how the brain and body work together under stress
  • Begin daily nervous system regullation and behavioral re-engagement
  • Build the confidence and structure to move forward - even when fear shows up

"My initial goal was to be able to not pass out like be able to go a few days and that has been going good for me right now I am 7 days without any symptoms." - Olivia

Month 6 - Goodbye, FND
  • Teens are functioning independently with confidence
  • Families have the tools, language, and mindset to prevent regression
  • The teen is back to living their life - not avoiding it

"I went from constant daily headache and unpredictable FND symptoms to completely pain and FND free. Now I'm doing all college courses without worrying about my symptoms at all." - Katlynn

Teen FND Academy™ Isn't Therapy - It's a Recovery Coaching Program That Works

 

It is a structured education + weekly coaching + practical applications for real-life recovery.

No more waiting for the next appointment. No more feeling stuck - Just a clea path forward.
  • We teach teens and parents how to retraining the brain-body disconnection
  • We guide them to build resilience and reduce fear-based avoidance
  • We support them every step of the way - between calls, milestones, and setbacks 

Traditional Therapy

  • Location-bound
  • Insurance-limited or restricted
  • Teen-focus
  • Short-term or symptom-based
  • Appointment-based care
  • Reactive to symptoms

Teen FND Academy™

  • 100% online worldwide (no travel or waitlist)
  • No restriction self-pay model
  • Parents and teens are both actively coached
  • 6-month focusing on brain-body function
  • Weekly group coaching, on-demand lessons, daily support
  • Proctive skill-building and nervous system retraining

We don't measure success by how many symptoms are gone - but by how much life is being lived again.

Each week, teens and parents share real moments - big wins, small steps, even struggles - because everything counts when it comes to recovery.

Here are just a few of the real wins shared inside Teen FND Academy™.

Every story is different - but they all show what's possible when families stop chasing symptoms and start rebuilding life.

"All of the modules are helpful in using the skills. I haven't had a headache or FND symptom in over a month."

Katlynn

"I know exactly what to do to control myself and haven't had FND symptoms for over 4 months now."

Alex

"I couldn't sit in one spot for more than 5 minutes before joining this program. Now I don't have any pain or FND symptoms. I'm back to my life again."

Aurora

"I wanted to give up after seeing so many doctors who couldn't help me. But now I have my life back."

Jackson

"I used to have more than 14 hours of functional seizure episodes every day. Now I'm completely FND free and thriving in my school."

Hazel

"I couldn't go to school at all because of FND and had to quit my sports. Now I haven't had FND in over a month and am doing the school work again."
