THERAPY FOR NEURODIVERGENT WOMEN
Supporting Women with ADHD, AuDHD, and Autism in Carrollton, Georgia
What is neurodiversity and what does neurodiversity-affirming therapy mean?
Neurodivergence is an umbrella term created by Judy Singer in the 1990s. She wanted a term that lacks a pathological influence such as “disorder” to describe something perfectly healthy and normal that researchers were noticing about some brains they were seeing. Many brains diverted from the norm and had markedly different strengths and weaknesses. These brains are now what we call neurodivergent, and they often demonstrate strengths such as pattern recognition, creativity, strong focus, and attention to detail. No two brains are ever alike, but that for the sake of research, most brains broadly fall into one of the two categories of neurotypical or neurodivergent.
Neurodivergence is becoming an increasingly popular term, and it continues to help destigmatize normal human experiences. Many of my neurodivergent clients might also embrace labels such as ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, HSP, giftedness, twice exceptional (2E), and more to create even more descriptors around their lived experiences.
Neurodiversity-affirming therapy rejects aspects of care aimed at pathologizing symptoms of neurodiversity. Instead, I use techniques that play up the strengths of the individual I am working with. This can look like rejecting societal norms for some people. ABA therapy is not considered neurodiversity-affirming care.
“It’s neurotypicals who categorized Autism as a social disorder.”
Autistic people don’t actually lack communication skills, or a drive to connect.
We aren’t doomed to forever feel lonely and broken.
We can step out of the soul-crushing cycle of reaching for neurotypical acceptance and being rejected despite our best efforts.
Instead, we can support and uplift one another, and create our own neurodiverse world where everyone – including neurotypicals – is welcome.”
- Dr. Devon Price
As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I work with women to help them understand the thought patterns, belief systems, and expectations that influence how they move through the world. Together, we will examine patterns of behavior that get in the way of you living the meaningful life you desire. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I believe there is no “correct” way of experiencing the world. I foster a sense of curiosity, discovery, and humor in sessions.
I provide a collaborative, strengths-based, non-pathologizing, and psychodynamic in nature therapy that is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. I integrate multiple modalities, primarily using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Humanistic/Person-Centered Therapy, tailoring the approaches to each clients needs. I focus on supporting clients in developing psychological flexibility by practicing mindfulness techniques and promoting self-compassion, observing and accepting thoughts and emotions, clarifying values, and taking action aligned with what matters most. I am also trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, which are powerful techniques that help clients quickly and effectively process trauma, release emotional blocks, and move toward healing.
No matter how challenging your present situation may be, I believe therapy can be transformative and affirming. I invite you to reach out today and begin your healing process. My commitment is to not judge you but to provide a space where you can show up as the most authentic version of yourself.
