Neurodivergent Therapy in
Ada, MI
Being neurodivergent can add layers to everyday Ada life. Maybe sensory overload hits on the drive along Ada Drive near Cascade Road, or executive function challenges make unpredictable moments at Ada Village feel overwhelming. We use those real experiences as starting points so progress shows up where you actually live.
My style is calm, direct, and neurodivergence-affirming. We keep sessions predictable, honor your processing style, and focus on strategies you can use after school events, before a commute, or during quiet evenings at home. The aim is better self-understanding, practical supports, and more capacity to navigate your world as you are.
How I Help With Neurodivergence in Ada
Identify sensory triggers and build regulation tools you can use in a store line or before driving
Build routines that honor your sensory needs and energy patterns without forcing neurotypical standards
Develop clear scripts for communicating your needs, requesting accommodations, and protecting your energy at home or work.
Use Brainspotting and HeartMath to regulate your nervous system and trust your intuition
My Approach
I combine body-based regulation skills with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work with masking, executive functioning challenges, and emotional dysregulation. When it fits your goals, I use Brainspotting to access the deep brain where automatic responses live and help you unmask at a neurological level. I also utilize HeartMath to help you realign with your body and trust your intuition rather than societal conditioning. We set realistic goals, check what actually works for your brain, and keep adjustments sized for a normal Rockford week.

FAQ
Do I need to live in Ada to meet with you?
No. Many clients split time between Ada and Grand Rapids, Comstock Park, or Belmont. The Ada focus helps us tie skills to your actual routines and environment.
What will we focus on first for neurodivergence?
We start with understanding your patterns and how masking shows up in your daily life. Then we build concrete tools for emotional regulation, executive functioning, and communication that you can use before work, after social events, and during downtime.
Do I need a formal diagnosis?
Not at all. Many people self-identify as neurodivergent, and you'll find only affirmation here. Whether you have ADHD, Autism, sensory processing differences, or OCD, what matters is that you recognize yourself in these experiences.
Is online an option?
Absolutely! I offer a secure telehealth option if that works better for you.
