Compassionate Counseling for ADHD, Autism, and Neurodiverse Minds
Living in a world that was not built for how your brain works can be exhausting. Whether you are neurodivergent yourself, in a relationship with someone who is neurodivergent, or parenting a neurodivergent child, the emotional strain is real. Therapy offers understanding, practical support, and relief from constant overwhelm.
We provide therapy for individuals with ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, giftedness, learning differences, and executive functioning challenges, as well as counseling for partners and parents navigating the emotional and relational impact of neurodiversity.
You Are Not Too Much. You Are Navigating a World That Is Not Always Understanding.
Many neurodivergent individuals, partners, and parents come to therapy feeling:
- Overstimulated, overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted
- Constantly misunderstood or judged by others
- Ashamed for struggling with organization, focus, or emotional regulation
- Burned out from masking or trying to appear neurotypical
- Frustrated by school systems, workplaces, or social expectations
- Disconnected in relationships due to communication differences
- Lonely despite wanting connection
- Constantly advocating and still feeling ignored
If life feels harder than it should, that is not a personal failure. It is often the weight of navigating systems that were not designed with neurodivergent brains in mind.
Therapy for Neurodivergent Individuals
Neurodivergent adults and teens often grow up being told they are lazy, difficult, dramatic, too sensitive, or not living up to their potential. Many internalize these messages long before they receive a diagnosis.
Therapy can help you:
- Understand your brain and how it actually works
- Reduce anxiety, depression, and emotional burnout
- Improve executive functioning and daily living skills
- Heal from years of shame, masking, and self doubt
- Build emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- Improve relationships and communication
- Develop self compassion and self trust
- Navigate work stress, school stress, and sensory overload
You do not need to be fixed. Therapy helps you work with your brain, not against it.
Therapy for Partners of Neurodivergent Individuals
Being in a relationship where one or both partners are neurodivergent can create deep love and deep frustration at the same time. Many partners feel:
- Lonely in the relationship despite caring deeply
- Resentful from carrying the mental load alone
- Confused by emotional expression differences
- Exhausted from constant misunderstandings
- Guilty for feeling frustrated
- Afraid to say what they really need
Therapy for partners provides a space to process these emotions without shame and to learn new tools for connection, communication, boundaries, and compassion.
Therapy for Parents of Neurodivergent Children
Parenting a neurodivergent child often requires relentless advocacy, emotional resilience, and constant adaptation. Many parents feel:
- Overwhelmed by school systems and IEP battles
- Isolated from friends with neurotypical children
- Emotionally depleted and burned out
- Afraid they are failing their child
- Grieving the parenting experience they imagined
- Chronically anxious about the future
- Stuck between protecting their child and preparing them for the world
Parent therapy provides emotional support, validation, coping tools, and guidance so that you can care for yourself while caring for your child.
Couples Counseling for Neurodiverse Relationships
Neurodiverse relationships often struggle not from lack of love, but from different communication styles, sensory needs, emotional processing speeds, and executive functioning challenges.
Couples therapy helps you:
- Reduce recurring conflict and shutdown cycles
- Improve emotional safety and understanding
- Learn each other’s nervous system needs
- Navigate sensory and intimacy challenges
- Share the mental load more fairly
- Rebuild teamwork and trust
- Strengthen your emotional connection
Neurodiversity does not doom relationships. With the right support, it can become a source of insight, growth, and deeper empathy.
Common Mental Health Struggles in Neurodivergent Individuals
Many clients experience:
- Chronic anxiety
- Depression
- Emotional dysregulation
- Rejection sensitive dysphoria
- Burnout
- Trauma from chronic invalidation
- Identity confusion
- Low self worth
These are not character flaws. They are natural responses to long term stress, misunderstanding, and nervous system overload.
Our Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy Approach
Our therapy is:
- Neurodiversity affirming
- Trauma informed
- Strengths based
- Identity respectful
- Emotionally validating
- Practical and skill focused
- Inclusive of all identities and family structures
We do not pathologize differences. We help you build a life that works for your nervous system, not against it.
Therapy for Late Diagnosed Adults
Many adults are discovering they are autistic or have ADHD later in life. This often brings relief and grief at the same time.
Therapy can help you:
- Process anger about missed support
- Reframe your life story
- Grieve lost time and misunderstood struggles
- Build identity clarity
- Release shame
- Create boundaries based on your real needs
Late diagnosis is not the end of possibility. It is often the beginning of real self understanding.
You Deserve Support That Honors How Your Brain Works
You do not need to become someone else to be worthy of peace, stability, and joy. You deserve support that understands your nervous system, your cognitive style, and your lived experience.
Therapy is not about changing who you are. It is about helping you suffer less while living more fully.
