Why Seek Neurodivergent-Affirmative Therapy?
Neurodivergent individuals may face sensory overload or struggle to process information, often feeling overwhelmed in environments designed for neurotypical minds. The challenges of navigating systems like education, healthcare, or employment—systems built without consideration for neurodivergent needs—can result in stress, anxiety, and emotional distress.
Research shows that neurodivergent individuals are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
In romantic or familial relationships, the differences between neurodivergent and neurotypical perspectives can lead to misunderstandings.
Therapy offers a non-judgmental space to explore and address these challenges with patience and care.
