Individual Therapy

Therapy that starts with how your brain actually works

One-on-one therapy for children, teens, and adults who are autistic, have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or have a learning disability. We work on what's hard without asking you to pretend to be someone else.

A different starting point

Most therapy was built for brains that work a certain way. When that's not your brain, standard advice can land badly. "Just make a list." "Try harder to focus." "Make more eye contact." You end up working twice as hard to look like everyone else, and feeling worse for needing to.

We start somewhere else. Your therapist learns how your attention, your senses, and your energy actually work, then builds the plan around that. The goal is a life that fits you, not a better performance of someone else's.

Therapy here is open to anyone, whether you were evaluated with us, were evaluated somewhere else, or have never been evaluated at all.

What this looks like in practice

  • No goals built around masking
  • Sensory needs respected in session
  • Stimming welcome
  • Pace set by you
  • Plain talk, no jargon

Sessions can happen sitting, walking, drawing, or with the lights down. Eye contact is never a requirement.

What we work on

People come to us for all kinds of reasons. Some common ones:

Day-to-day struggles

  • Anxiety and worry
  • Depression and low motivation
  • Anger and big emotions
  • Shutdowns, meltdowns, and burnout
  • Sleep and routine

Getting things done

  • Starting tasks and finishing them
  • Time, planning, and follow-through
  • School refusal and avoidance
  • Work stress and job changes
  • Money, mail, and other piled-up tasks

Self and relationships

  • Making sense of a new diagnosis
  • Self-worth after years of being told to try harder
  • Friendships, dating, and conflict
  • Family and partner communication
  • Deciding who to tell, and how

Who we see

  • ChildrenPlay-based sessions, with parents and caregivers part of the work
  • TeensIndependence, school, identity, and the jump to what comes next
  • AdultsWork, relationships, and undoing years of coping that cost too much
  • Late-identified adultsPeople who found out at 30, 50, or 70, and are rethinking their whole history
  • Parents and caregiversSessions for the adults supporting a neurodivergent kid

How we work

Your therapist draws on approaches with good research behind them, adapted for neurodivergent clients rather than used off the shelf.

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Acceptance and commitment therapy
  • Skills for managing big emotions
  • Parent and caregiver coaching
  • [Add others your therapists offer]

Sessions usually run 50 minutes, weekly or every other week to start. How long you stay in therapy is your call, and we'll check in on it together.

What to expect

  1. Reach out

    Call or send a message. We'll ask a few questions about what's going on and what you're hoping for.

  2. First session

    Mostly getting to know you. Your history, your strengths, what's hard right now, and what you want to be different.

  3. A plan you agree with

    We name a few goals in plain language. If a goal is really someone else's goal for you, we say so.

  4. Ongoing sessions

    Regular meetings, with adjustments as things change. We'll revisit the plan rather than drift.

Evaluation and therapy in the same place

If testing shows up as part of the picture, you don't have to start over somewhere else. Our evaluators and therapists work from one shared plan in one building, so what gets learned in testing goes straight to the person you see every week.

Common questions

Do I need an evaluation before starting therapy?

No. Plenty of our therapy clients have never been formally evaluated. If it would help, we can talk about it, but it's not a requirement.

Can we meet by video?

[Confirm telehealth: which states, whether first session must be in person.]

Will you try to make my child act "normal"?

No. We don't set goals around hiding who someone is. We work on things that make life genuinely easier, like handling frustration, asking for help, or getting through a school day without burning out.

Do you prescribe medication?

[Confirm: whether the clinic offers medication management, or coordinates with an outside prescriber.]

How long is the wait?

[Current wait time, or "call for current availability."]

Insurance and private pay

We take insurance and offer private pay rates. You'll know the cost before your first session.
