At The Art of Healing, we embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach. We recognize that ADHD, autism, Tourette’s, OCD, dyslexia, sensory processing differences, and other forms of neurodivergence are natural variations in how minds and bodies function. Instead of focusing on “fixing” or masking differences, we honor each child’s strengths, perspectives, and ways of engaging with the world.

Neurodivergent children and adolescents often face unique stressors, including heightened anxiety, challenges with self-regulation, and pressures to conform in school or social settings. Through affirming therapy, children learn strategies to manage big feelings, build resilience, and develop healthy coping tools without suppressing who they are. Our goal is to help children feel understood, valued, and empowered.

Therapy provides opportunities for children to strengthen social-emotional skills, practice problem-solving, and build confidence in their abilities. We incorporate play, creativity, and child-led exploration to meet each client where they are. Parents and caregivers are supported in learning ways to nurture their child’s self-esteem, independence, and capacity to thrive in daily life.

Families play a central role in the well-being of neurodivergent children. We provide collaborative parenting support, helping caregivers understand their child’s unique needs, reduce conflict, and create affirming home environments. Together, we work toward strengthening family communication, building connections, and ensuring every child feels seen and supported in their growth.

Being a neurodivergent adult—whether living with ADHD, autism, OCD, Tourette’s, or another difference—often means navigating a world that wasn’t designed with your brain in mind. Many adults spend years masking or pushing through challenges with focus, relationships, communication, or sensory sensitivities, sometimes without ever having had support. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to mask, where your unique ways of thinking and experiencing the world are affirmed and respected. At The Art of Healing, we help neurodivergent adults build self-understanding, reduce shame, and discover strategies that actually work for their lives. Together, we focus on enhancing executive functioning, managing anxiety or overwhelm, improving communication and relationships, and celebrating the creativity, resilience, and strengths that come with neurodivergence.
