NEURODIVERSITY-AFFIRMING THERAPY

How We Support Neurodivergent Clients in Therapy

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about understanding your brain, honoring your needs, and helping you build a life that actually fits you. We tailor the therapeutic process to respect sensory differences, communication styles, processing needs, and the lived experience of being autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or otherwise neurodivergent in a world that isn’t always built with you in mind.
