How the Clinic Works
The Clinic
The Daimon Institute for the Highly Gifted provides specialized consultation and support for the multidimensional development of exceptionally and profoundly gifted (EPG) children, adolescents, adults, and their families. Our clients span the lifespan and come to us from around the world.
People seek support from the Daimon Institute for many different reasons. Some highly, exceptionally, and profoundly gifted individuals are looking for guidance in navigating a world that may neither recognize nor adequately accommodate their unusual developmental needs. Families may seek help understanding and supporting their child’s educational, cognitive, emotional, social, and developmental needs. Adults may come to us seeking a deeper understanding of their own giftedness and how it has shaped their lives, relationships, identity, and well-being.
Some individuals and families also present with significant or complex mental-health concerns. These situations are considered carefully and individually to determine whether our services are appropriate and how we may best support the person within the scope of our professional practice.
International and Online Services
The Daimon Institute has supported clients from five continents. Where appropriate and professionally permissible, international clients may arrange online or out-of-country consultations.
Online counselling and consultation allow appointments to take place in real time using a computer, tablet, or phone through the secure video platform Doxy.me. Availability of services may vary according to the client’s location, individual circumstances, and applicable professional requirements.
Research, Education, and Professional Outreach
Alongside our work with individuals and families, the Daimon Institute conducts research and provides keynotes, professional education, and presentations exploring the distinctive lived and developmental experiences of exceptionally and profoundly gifted people.
Our work is shared with mental-health practitioners, educators, researchers, policymakers, parents and families, and exceptionally and profoundly gifted individuals themselves—with the broader goal of advancing informed, nuanced, and compassionate understanding of this exceptional population.

Daimon Institute Scope
Research, Collaboration, and International Outreach
The Daimon Institute conducts scientific research, collaborates with leaders in gifted education and gifted psychology, and provides direction and leadership for professionals, families, organizations, and others seeking a deeper understanding of exceptionally and profoundly gifted (EPG) individuals.
P. Susan Jackson travels internationally for speaking engagements, conferences, professional education, and consultation. When circumstances permit, she may also establish temporary satellite Daimon Institute clinics in conjunction with her professional travel, providing opportunities for individuals and families to meet with her in person. Previous satellite clinics have been held in cities including Toronto, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
Susan also conducts extended seminars and symposia internationally, including in Europe, bringing together diverse audiences of educators, psychologists and other mental-health professionals, researchers, academics, parents, and EPG individuals themselves.
These interdisciplinary gatherings reflect a central commitment of the Daimon Institute: to bring research, professional expertise, lived experience, and direct engagement with exceptionally and profoundly gifted individuals into meaningful conversation—deepening our collective understanding of this exceptional population.
