Neurodivergence

Embrace your mind

We understand that neurodivergence isn’t a problem to “fix.” Whether you're living with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, OCD, synesthesia, or something else, we create a space where your unique brain is respected, understood, and supported.

Our therapists—many of whom are neurodivergent themselves—are dedicated to providing affirming, inclusive care for neurodivergent individuals navigating life's challenges in a world that often ignores, punishes, or excludes them.

We understand you may think, feel, and express yourself in a variety of ways, and we’re here to help you build on your strengths, develop coping skills, and process the challenges you face.

Unique Challenges

Neurodivergent individuals often face unique obstacles—from sensory sensitivities and executive functioning challenges to social dynamics and emotional regulation. When these are layered with the complexities of LGBTQ+ identity, it can feel especially overwhelming. At Vada Counseling, we’re committed to offering specialized care that addresses the intersection of neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ experiences.

What to Expect

  • Affirming and Inclusive Environment: We recognize that neurodivergent minds operate in diverse and valid ways. Our therapists are trained to meet you where you are, understanding your needs without judgment or preconceived notions.

  • Tailored Therapeutic Approaches: Every person is different so we tailor our therapeutic approaches to fit your unique experiences. Whether you need support managing daily life, coping with sensory sensitivities, or navigating relationships, our therapists work with you to develop strategies that truly fit your life.

  • Community and Connection: Our LGBTQ+ therapy group is a supportive space where queer and trans neurodivergent folks can connect, share their experiences, and find solidarity with others who understand. It’s about creating a community where your identity is celebrated, and your voice is heard.

Common Areas of Focus Include:

  • Managing overwhelm and overstimulation

  • Navigating relationships and social dynamics

  • Developing executive functioning and time management strategies

  • Emotional regulation and processing

  • Addressing internalized ableism and LGBTQ+ discrimination
