Autism

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. Autism is referred to as a spectrum because it manifests differently in each individual.

While we address social challenges or life concerns in psychotherapy, we also know it is important to recognize the unique abilities, strengths, and perspectives that individuals with autism contribute to school, work, and other social settings. Engaging in neurodiversity affirming psychotherapy offers a supportive space to explore these aspects of oneself and to develop strategies for interacting with the world. By embracing neurodiversity, individuals can foster self-acceptance and resilience while contributing to a more inclusive society that values the richness of human differences.

ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It commonly emerges in childhood but can persist into adulthood. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with tasks requiring sustained attention, organization, and impulse control.

Despite the challenges, many people with ADHD exhibit creativity, energy, and a unique perspective. Treatment often involves a combination of behavioral interventions, support strategies, and, in some cases, medication. Understanding and accommodating the diverse ways in which individuals with ADHD experience life can foster more inclusive environments.
