Neurodivergent Therapy Near
Forest Hills
Navigating life as a neurodivergent adult can add complexity to everyday Forest Hills routines. Perhaps sensory overwhelm surfaces while traveling Woodward Avenue near downtown, or executive function hurdles make spontaneous situations at local shops feel unmanageable. We anchor our work in these authentic moments so improvements appear in your actual environment.
My approach is steady, straightforward, and neurodivergence-affirming. We maintain consistent sessions, respect your unique processing patterns, and concentrate on techniques you can apply following work obligations, ahead of social gatherings, or during downtime in your space. The focus is enhanced self-awareness, functional supports, and greater capacity to move through your world authentically.
How I Help With Neurodivergence in Forest Hills
Recognize sensory patterns and create regulation methods you can access while waiting in lines or before meetings
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 Forest Hills week.

FAQ
Do I need to live in Ada to meet with you?
No. Many clients split time between Forest Hills and Grand Rapids, Comstock Park, or Belmont. The Forest Hills 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.
