You’re not broken, even though a lot of people have probably made you feel that way. Neurodivergent-affirming therapy for ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD teens and adults, including those who figured it out later in life. No diagnosis required.
In person in Suwanee, online across Georgia.
Most of the strategies you’ve been handed were built for a different kind of brain. The planner, the morning routine, the advice to just stop overthinking. When they didn’t stick, it probably looked like a willpower problem. It’s more likely a fit problem.
And if masking helped you get through school, work, or family, it makes sense that it’s still running. It just costs a lot. Think of the energy it takes to hold it together all day at work, and what’s left for the people and things you actually care about by evening.
What a lot of people want isn’t to become someone else. It’s to stop spending all their energy looking fine, and to have something left over for their own life.
We start with how your brain actually works, not how it “should.” That means getting curious about what drains you and what restores you, where you’re masking and what it’s protecting, and which patterns showed up as ways to survive in places that didn’t fit you.
Our work is relational, so the therapy adapts to you, not the other way around. Our rooms are set up for sensory comfort: adjustable lighting (no big overhead light, promise), blankets, pillows, sound machines, and a ton of fidgets. We communicate directly and name things plainly, so you’re not left decoding what we meant. And if video sessions work better with your camera off? That’s okay.
Neurodivergence isn’t something we treat. It’s how you’re wired. What we work on is what you want help with: burnout, anxiety, relationships, self-trust, the leftover hurt from years of being misunderstood. Frameworks like EMDR, DBT skills, and nervous system education can support that work. They aren’t the whole thing.
And this isn’t only our professional focus. Many of us live it too. Our team brings both professional and lived experience with neurodivergence, along with current, affirming training.
Do I need a diagnosis? No. Self-identified, suspected, newly diagnosed, and “I have no idea, but this page sounds like me” are all welcome here.
Do you do ADHD or autism assessments? No, we don’t provide formal ADHD or autism assessments. You don’t need one to work with us. If you decide you want a formal evaluation, your therapist can talk through what that process might look like.
Are you going to try to make me act less autistic or less ADHD? No. The goal isn’t to make you look more typical. It’s to help you live in a way that works for your brain, with less burnout and more of you.
Can therapy help with autistic or ADHD burnout? Yes. We look at what’s draining you, what’s sustainable, and what you need more of, without telling you to just push through.
Do you see teens? Yes, ages 13 and up. Our teen therapists are on the teen therapy page.
Do you take insurance? We’re private pay, which gives us independence from insurance requirements. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, and FSA/HSA cards can be used. Each therapist’s rate is on their profile.
