Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy
Neurodiversity-affirming therapy is a compassionate, respectful approach that honors and celebrates neurological differences instead of viewing them as deficits or disorders that need to be "fixed." This form of therapy recognizes that conditions like ADHD and Autism are natural variations of human diversity, each with its strengths, challenges, and unique ways of experiencing the world. The goal is to help you understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and thrive in a world that often isn’t designed with neurodivergent individuals in mind.
​
Why It Matters
​
Many neurodivergent individuals have faced misunderstanding, judgment, or even attempts to change who they are. In a world that often pressures people to conform to a narrow definition of "normal," neurodiversity-affirming therapy provides a space where you can be your authentic self without judgment or pressure to mask your true identity. It’s about finding ways to live a fulfilling life that aligns with your unique strengths and needs, rather than trying to fit into a mold that doesn’t work for you.
​
My Approach
​
At The Nest Psychotherapy, I specialize in working with individuals who are Autistic and/or have ADHD, drawing on both my professional training and my lived experience. I understand firsthand the challenges you may face and the strengths you possess. My approach is to offer therapy that is validating, supportive, and tailored to your unique experiences.
​
Sessions are designed to help you explore your identity, build self-acceptance, and develop strategies to navigate a neurotypical world without losing your authentic self. We’ll work together to address issues like self-esteem, sensory overwhelm, executive functioning, emotional regulation, relationships, and anything else you need support with.
​
Why Book a Session?

Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, or simply want a safe space to explore your neurodivergent identity, I'm here to help.
