Therapy for Neurodivergent Teens throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Carolina
Helping teens with neurodiverse traits navigate life’s challenges.
Are you tired of feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed with pressure to “mask,” or exhausted from pressure to fit in?
I know it can feel like the world is constantly expecting you to fit into a box that doesn’t make sense for you, and it’s exhausting trying to keep up. The pressure to hide who you really are or push through struggles without support can leave you feeling isolated and drained.
It’s frustrating when people don’t get you or what you're trying to say, and it feels like you’re speaking a different language than everyone else
Sometimes, everything around you—like the noise, lights, or crowds—feels like too much and you just want to escape, but you can’t
It’s hard when you don’t know what to say or how to act in social situations, or when you feel like you don’t belong in the group
School feels like it’s built for everyone except you, and no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough to keep up
Pretending to be someone you're not, just to avoid being judged or left out, drains you mentally and emotionally, and it feels like you can’t keep up the act forever
It can feel disappointing when people don’t seem to get what you’re going through, and social situations just leave you feeling drained. School can be overwhelming, and constantly masking who you really are makes everything feel even harder.
Therapy can help you decrease the chaotic feel of it all.
