Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy for Autistic & ADHD People in Portland, OR
Looking for a therapist that understands your experience as a neurodivergent person? I’m a neurodivergent therapist offering neurodivergent affirming therapy for Autistic folks and ADHDers in Portland, OR.
Maybe you’re here because you…
Want to work through imposter syndrome around your new diagnosis
Hope to find ways to better accommodate yourself
Long to build more confidence in self-advocating for your needs
Yearn to let go of the toxic shame, perfectionism, and masking shaped by living in a neurotypical world
Crave fulfilling relationships, but struggle with social anxiety & rejection
Whatever brings you here, I hope to offer a space that helps you find more self-compassion and confidence.
As a neurodivergent affirming practitioner, I celebrate brain diversity. I do not view autism and ADHD as disorders, deficits, or shortcomings. However, I understand that living in a neurotypical world as an Autistic person or ADHDer can come with many challenges. I hope to create a relationship with you in which you feel fully seen and embraced.
What Neurodivergent affirming Psychotherapy is not:
Executive functioning skills coaching
Teaching systems for managing your life
Time management skills training
Daily life skills support
*These needs are better suited for an Occupational Therapist specializing in Neurodivergent affirming care
Meet Your Therapist, Chelsea
I’m a neurodivergent therapist with a passion for helping fellow neurodivergent folks reach their goals.
I am a nerdy, tender-hearted, cat-loving and compassionate human. I hold up a lantern so you can walk the sometimes dark & heavy paths life presents, to find a cozy & warm place to land: a place of fulfillment, self-trust, and connection.
