Neurodivergence
Living in a world designed for neurotypical brains can feel like constantly swimming upstream.
If you or your partner are neurodivergent — navigating ADHD, autism, or related experiences —
you may know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, overlooked, or pressured to “fit in” in ways that don’t match who you are.
The Individual Experience
Maybe you’ve carried messages for years that you’re too much
(too impulsive, too intense, too easily distracted)
or that you’re not enough
(not focused enough, not disciplined enough, not organized enough).
​
You may find yourself masking in social or professional settings,
holding it together on the outside while inside you feel overwhelmed,
exhausted, or burned out.
Emotional regulation, sensory overload, or executive functioning challenges may show up daily, leaving you frustrated with yourself or worried about how others see you.
​
Therapy gives you a space to put those worries down,
to be met with compassion instead of criticism,
and to begin building a new relationship with yourself,
one that highlights your strengths and honors your unique wiring.
The Couple Experience
When neurodivergence is part of a relationship,
it can create cycles of tension and miscommunication.
One partner may feel ignored, dismissed, or left carrying the household load. The other may feel constantly criticized, unseen, or misunderstood no matter how hard they try.
Over time, these dynamics can leave both people
lonely, frustrated, and disconnected.
Some couples are mixed-ADHD or mixed-neurotype couples,
where one partner is neurotypical and the other is neurodivergent.
Other couples may both be neurodivergent but still face differences in how they process, communicate, and move through the world—
shaped by personality, family background, past trauma or life experience.
Therapy helps couples name these dynamics without blame, build empathy,
and create new ways of relating so both partners feel valued and supported.
​
We also support couples who are parenting a child with ADHD or possible neurodivergent tendencies.
These situations can bring added layers of stress, misunderstanding, or conflict but with guidance,
they can also become opportunities for greater connection and teamwork as parents.
​
And if you’re not sure whether you or your partner are neurodivergent, that’s okay too.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from this work.
​
Our focus is on the very real challenges you’re experiencing day to day,
and finding practical, compassionate ways forward.
A Tailored Approach for Neurodiversity
We don’t see neurodivergence as a problem to be “fixed,”
but as a different and meaningful way of experiencing the world.
Our role is to help you embrace your strengths, soften the impact of challenges,
and find more ease and clarity in your daily life and relationships.
​
Our approach draws from psychodynamic, relational, and body-based therapies,
while integrating evidence-informed strategies for emotional regulation and executive functioning.
​
We also recognize that neurodivergence doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
We often work with the broader human experiences that accompany it, such as trauma histories,
life transitions, or losses, and the ways these intersect with and amplify neurodivergent challenges.
​
We create a supportive, culturally sensitive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can:
-
Reduce shame and self-criticism
-
Build tools for focus, organization, and balance
-
Improve emotional regulation and stress management
-
Strengthen communication and intimacy in your relationship
-
Feel more grounded, confident, and connected
Neurodivergence doesn’t have to mean isolation, frustration, or endless conflict.
With the right support, it can become a pathway to deeper self-understanding, greater compassion,
and more authentic connection — both with yourself and with the people who matter most.
​
If you or your relationship are navigating ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence,
you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help you create the understanding, tools,
and connection you’ve been longing for.
Ways to Work Together
We offer several therapy formats designed to support neurodivergent individuals and couples.
​
Each option provides a safe, structured space to explore challenges,
build new skills, and strengthen connection.
We offer confidential, online therapy sessions from the comfort of your own couch!
​​​
We use a platform called SimplePractice, which includes a video-call application, that's designed specifically for therapy practices. It's fully encrypted and HIPAA-compliant to keep your privacy preserved and your sessions confidential.
​
At this time, we can only serve residents of New Jersey and New York.
Insurance Reimbursement
We are an out-of-network provider, which means that we do not bill insurance companies directly.
Your therapy services may be eligible for reimbursement through your
out-of-network benefits, medical spending or health care savings accounts.
​
We can provide you with a monthly superbill, which you can submit to your
medical insurance carrier for reimbursement.
​​
Out-of-network benefits cover psychotherapy with the licensed therapist you choose. Authorization is not required and our work together is not managed by a third party. All treatment decisions are made solely between us, based on your individual needs.
There are many benefits to seeking therapy on an out-of-network basis. Insurance companies require regular treatment plans to be submitted by their in-network providers in order to continue authorizing sessions. Retroactive decisions about what they cover often lead to unanticipated balances billed to patients. Finally, insurance companies regularly audit in-network psychotherapists' records, further compromising confidentiality.
Obtaining psychotherapy on an out-of-network basis avoids the issues that compromise confidentiality and autonomy of treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to help you navigate them so you can determine if your insurance company will cover our work together.
