Supporting Neurodivergent Individuals

Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in brain functioning that affect how individuals think, learn, and interact with the world. This includes conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyslexia, and others. Every neurodivergent person has unique strengths and challenges, and therapy can provide tools and strategies to navigate a world that may not always feel accommodating or inclusive.

Common Experiences of Neurodivergent Individuals:

  • Difficulty understanding or navigating social cues and relationships

  • Sensory sensitivities, such as being overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or crowded spaces

  • Challenges with focus, time management, or executive functioning

  • Strong interests in specific topics or activities

  • Feeling misunderstood, isolated, or overwhelmed in social or workplace settings

  • Co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem

How Neurodivergence Can Impact Daily Life:

  • Struggles with communication and relationships

  • Emotional dysregulation or heightened stress levels

  • Difficulty adapting to change or unexpected situations

  • Barriers to achieving personal, academic, or professional goals
