There Is No One Way to Be Neurodivergent.

Autism and ADHD can look different from person to person — and support should, too.

At CreativePsych, we begin with the individual: their strengths, challenges, interests, communication style, sensory needs and goals.

For some people, therapy involves conversation. For others, connection may happen more naturally through art, music, play, movement or shared activities.

The goal isn't to make someone appear less autistic or ADHD. It's to help them understand themselves, navigate challenges and build a life that works for them.

Who We Support

Children

Support can focus on emotional regulation, anxiety, communication, self-understanding, confidence, friendships, transitions and everyday challenges.

Teens

A space to explore identity, relationships, anxiety, school stress, executive functioning, emotional regulation, masking, self-esteem and the experience of growing up neurodivergent.

Adults

Affirming therapy for autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent adults, whether you've known you're neurodivergent for years, are newly diagnosed, or are beginning to explore what neurodivergence might mean for you.

Family Consultations

Parents and caregivers can meet with one of our therapists to better understand their child's needs, explore challenges at home or school, and develop practical, affirming ways to support communication, regulation and connection.

Different Ways to Connect

Talking isn't the only way to communicate, process or connect.

Our therapists are psychotherapists, and many also have training in music therapy, art therapy, drama therapy and other creative approaches. Depending on the person and their goals, sessions may include conversation, music, art, play, movement, writing or simply doing something together.

There is no requirement to make art, play music or even know exactly what you want to talk about.

What Does “Neurodiversity-Affirming” Mean?

Neurodiversity-affirming care recognizes that there are many ways of thinking, communicating, learning and experiencing the world.

Rather than beginning with “How do we make this person behave more typically?” we ask questions like:
What is this person experiencing?

What are they communicating?
What is making things difficult?
What strengths and interests can we build from?
What support would make life more manageable or meaningful?

We work collaboratively with clients and families to develop goals that respect the person while addressing the challenges that brought them to therapy.

We Can Support With

Anxiety & Worry

Fears, overwhelm, panic, perfectionism, separation anxiety and anxious thoughts.

Emotional Regulation

Big feelings, frustration, shutdowns, meltdowns and finding ways to regulate.

ADHD

Attention, organization, motivation, impulsivity and understanding how your brain works.

Autism

Affirming support for communication, regulation, self-understanding, relationships and everyday challenges.

Self-Esteem

Building confidence, self-understanding and a stronger sense of self.

Social Connections

Friendships, school stress, transitions, communication and navigating social situations.

School Stress

School anxiety, overwhelm, changing routines, transitions and other school-related challenges.

Grief & Life Changes

Support through loss, family changes, illness and other significant transitions.
