Neurodivergent

Therapy and Support for the Way Your Mind Works

At Mindful Transformations, we believe neurodivergence is a natural part of human diversity, not something that needs to be fixed. Whether you identify as autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, highly sensitive, or simply know your brain works differently, therapy here is a place where you can be fully yourself.

You don’t have to mask, explain, or apologize for how you move through the world. We provide a space where you’re understood, affirmed, and supported in building a life that works for you.

Why Therapy Can Help

Navigating a world that isn’t built with neurodivergent people in mind can feel exhausting. Therapy can offer relief and guidance by helping you:

  • Reduce anxiety, stress, and burnout

  • Explore self-acceptance and unlearn masking or shame

  • Develop strategies for focus, organization, and daily routines

  • Navigate relationships and communication differences

  • Heal from experiences of rejection or exclusion

  • Celebrate your unique strengths, creativity, and perspective

Our Approach to Neurodivergent-Affirming Care

We adapt therapy to you, not the other way around. This might include:

  • Collaborative Planning
    Together we create goals and strategies that actually feel realistic and supportive for your life.

  • Holding Space & Insight Work
    Sometimes the most healing thing is having someone listen, validate your perspective, and help you understand why you think or feel the way you do. We honor your experiences and help you make sense of your patterns without judgment.

  • Mindfulness & Nervous System Regulation
    Gentle practices that help with overwhelm, stress, and sensory overload, always tailored to your comfort level.

  • Strength-Based Support
    Therapy isn’t about erasing your differences….it’s about recognizing and celebrating the ways your mind works, and building confidence in your strengths.

An Integrated Approach

There isn’t one “right way” to do therapy, especially when you’re neurodivergent. What feels supportive for one person may not feel right for another, and that’s okay. At Mindful Transformations, we take an integrated approach, blending different modalities and working with you to discover what feels most helpful.

Some people benefit from practical strategies like CBT or DBT skills, others find healing through mindfulness, somatic awareness, or holistic practices. Often, it’s a combination. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you, so therapy feels like a safe, supportive space where you can thrive.

Social & Relationship Challenges

For many neurodivergent adults, navigating relationships can feel confusing or draining. You may feel misunderstood, worry about saying the “wrong” thing, or find it hard to balance your need for alone time with maintaining friendships or partnerships.

How we help:
In therapy, we create a safe space where you can practice communication skills, explore boundaries, and build confidence in relationships without judgment. Together, we’ll work on understanding social dynamics while honoring your authentic self, so relationships feel less like work and more like connection.

Stress, Anxiety, & Burnout

Masking, sensory overload, and constant pressure to “fit in” can lead to anxiety and burnout. You might feel exhausted from keeping up appearances, overwhelmed in loud or fast-paced environments, or like you’re always on the edge of shutdown.

How we help:
We use mindfulness, grounding, and nervous system regulation strategies tailored to your needs. Therapy becomes a place where you can unmask, process stress, and find healthier ways to recover from or prevent burnout. Our goal is to help you feel calmer, more balanced, and supported in daily life.

Identity & Self-Acceptance

Many neurodivergent adults grow up hearing that they are “too much,” “too quiet,” or “too different.” Over time, this can take a toll on self-esteem and make it difficult to feel fully at peace with who you are.

How we help:
Through insight-oriented therapy and strength-based support, we focus on helping you see your unique perspective as a strength, not a flaw. Together, we’ll work on building self-compassion and creating a life where you don’t have to hide who you are.
