Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy

Looking for Support that Embraces Your Unique Mind?

Neurodivergent affirming therapy embraces the idea that neurodevelopmental conditions like complex PTSD, Autism, or ADHD are natural variations of human neurology rather than deficits. Instead of trying to “fix” someone or help them “be normal” by masking, this approach focuses on understanding and accepting each individual’s unique neurological profile.

This therapy prioritizes your strengths, preferences, and lived experiences, creating a supportive and validating environment for neurodivergent individuals.

Who Can Benefit from Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy?

  • Individuals with ADHD:

    Neurodivergent-affirming therapy can help individuals with ADHD develop coping mechanisms and strategies to manage executive functioning challenges, time management, and sensory overload.

  • Individuals with autism:

    This approach can be helpful for autistic individuals who may struggle with social interactions, communication differences, and sensory sensitivities.

  • Individuals with other neurodevelopmental conditions:

    Conditions like dyslexia, dyspraxia, and sensory processing disorder can also benefit from the affirming and supportive environment that this therapy provides.

  • Self-diagnosed individuals:

    If someone suspects they are neurodivergent but hasn't received a formal diagnosis, this therapy can still be beneficial in exploring their experiences and developing self-understanding.

  • Parents and families of neurodivergent individuals:

    Neurodivergent-affirming therapy can also support parents and families in understanding and better supporting their neurodiverse loved ones.
