At Shade Tree Family Counseling, we believe that neurodivergence is not something to be “fixed,” but a natural and valuable variation in the human brain. Whether you're autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, or live with another form of neurodivergence, our therapy services are designed to affirm your identity and help you thrive in a world that isn’t always designed with you in mind.

Who We Work With

We provide counseling for individuals across the lifespan who identify as neurodivergent, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified. Our clients include:

• Autistic individuals (including those diagnosed with ASD or who self-identify)

• People with ADHD

• Individuals with learning differences such as dyslexia or dyscalculia

• Highly sensitive individuals

• Twice-exceptional (2e) individuals

• Those exploring neurodivergence later in life

We also support parents, partners, and families of neurodivergent individuals.

How We Help

Our therapy services are collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to each client’s unique needs and strengths. Some areas we often explore in therapy include:

• Self-understanding and identity
  Exploring what neurodivergence means for you and embracing your authentic self.

• Emotional regulation and sensory processing
  Learning strategies to manage overwhelm, shutdowns, and meltdowns in ways that respect your nervous system.

• Executive functioning support
  Developing personalized approaches for time management, organization, and motivation.

• Navigating relationships and communication
  Building connection and understanding while honoring your communication style and boundaries.

• Coping with burnout, anxiety, or masking
  Addressing the toll of living in a neurotypical world, and working toward more ease and authenticity.

• Work, school, and life transitions
  Providing guidance and advocacy tools to help navigate systems and settings that may not be built for you.

Our Approach

We use evidence-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practices, integrating modalities such as:

• Person-Centered Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with adaptations

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Mindfulness and somatic tools

• Trauma-informed care

• Collaborative goal-setting and pacing that respects sensory and cognitive needs

We strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected—never judged or pathologized.
