Instead of focusing on “fixing” differences, we help neurodivergent individuals harness their unique way of processing while addressing the challenges that may arise in a largely neurotypical world.

What Is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in brain function and cognition that differ from what society considers “neurotypical.” These natural variations are vast in their form and make up the neurodivergent spectrum, which includes but is not limited to such diagnoses as:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and other learning differences
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
- Tourette’s Syndrome
Neurodivergent Experiences
Common challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals often include:
- Uncertainty in social dynamics and difficulties navigating relationships with peers, family, or colleagues due to differences in communication styles or perceptions.
- Sensitivity to sensory overload, which makes certain environments or situations overwhelming.
- Struggles with executive functioning, such as organization, time management, or transitioning between tasks that may affect daily life.
- Stigma and misunderstanding due to living in a society that often undervalues neurodivergent abilities, which can result in feelings of isolation or inadequacy.
On the flip side, neurodivergent individuals often possess incredible strengths, such as heightened creativity, unique problem-solving skills, an eye for detail, and intense passion for their interests.
Our neurodivergent counseling services are designed to help uncover and celebrate these strengths while addressing the areas where support is needed.
