“Her mind was jumbled, everything blurred together and confused; but from the tangled knot of her feelings she had extracted a single crucial thread”
Katharine McGee, The Thousandth Floor
Growing up isn’t always easy.
Growing up with a neurodiverse brain (a brain that takes in information, processes, and responds to the world a little differently) can be even harder.
Feeling completely overwhelmed?
“Where do I fit in?”
“Why do things like making friends seem to be easier for others than for me?”
“Will I be able to do things like go to college, have a job, a relationship, or a family?”
The challenges that young people with neurodiverse brains face are very real. They are more likely to:
- Struggle in school, both socially and academically
- Suffer from depression and anxiety
- Lose their confidence and motivation
- Experience bullying and/or relationships where they are being taken advantage of
- Fail to launch successfully into college and/or living independently
I consistently find that young people really benefit from having an ongoing working relationship with a therapist who is experienced in working with individuals with neurodiverse brains. I can help children and adults work towards neurodiversity acceptance and celebration.
