Show up as you are … you’re safe here.
Your go-to therapists for trauma, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ issues for teens and adults virtually in Washington and Oregon.
Navigating a neurodivergent brain in a neurotypical world can feel like showing up to a black-tie event in an elaborate spooky costume (such a power move btw).
You’re left feeling outcasted and misunderstood. Add on the trauma, mistreatment, and “what the EFF is wrong with me?!” thoughts … it’s all a real doozy.
And hands up if a life-altering “WOW, that makes sense” late diagnosis rocked your world.
It's like you keep being reminded that the way you naturally are doesn’t fit into society’s rule book.
But trust us, It doesn’t have to feel like this. You can learn how to cope with your neuro-spicy tendencies, and feel free and confident in your skin (and brain).
A safe space for the real you to shine – with highly effective approaches such as EMDR, Safe and Sound, Somatic Therapy, and spiritual approaches.
