ADHD, Autism & Neurodivergence
Messy minds welcome
-
Neurodivergent is a nonmedical term that describes people whose brains develop or work differently for some reason. This means the person has different strengths and struggles from people whose brains develop or work more typically. While some people who are neurodivergent have medical conditions, it also happens to people where a medical condition or diagnosis hasn’t been identified.

ADHD, Autism, C-/PTSD, and OCD are just a few of many neurotypes used to describe the many ways of learning, thinking, experiencing and behaving. Understanding your neurotype allows you to build a life comprised of systems, environments, relationships and ways of thinking and behaving that work for you and the life you want to live.
Unfortunately, stigmatization and improper support for neurodivergence continues to be prevalent. Negative criticism of being “too”- forgetful, ‘go-go-go’, distracted, sensitive, talkative, scattered, controlling, emotional, inconsistent, and/or messy can erode self-esteem, instill a sense of personal failing or drive for perfect, and lead to feeling disconnected or striving for unobtainable outcomes.
Additionally, many neurodivergent folks also experience complex medical conditions overlooked or undiscussed in standardized talk-therapy, missing important parts of a person’s experience hindering wellness.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, chronic migraines, chronic Gastrointestinal (GI) issues, Endometriosis, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), Fibromyalgia, and connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are among some of the many co-existing diagnoses my clientele have experience with.
I used my professional and personal experience unpacking my own neurodivergence and navigating the complex landscape of wellness as a neurodivergent person to create High Point Counseling PLLC, a place where clients striving to develop a personal wellness recipe can come to understand themselves and develop systems and skills that really work. I look forward to helping you create your wellness recipe.
Therapy that doesn’t fit in one box, because neither do you
Maybe you feel like you aren’t living up to your full potential. Unable to shake feeling “off”, stuck, out-of-place, exhausted, burnt out, disconnected or out of step with everyone else. You’re giving your best efforts and yet…it just doesn’t seem like you’re where you want to be…professionally, relationally, mentally, emotionally, or in general.
You aren’t wrong for wanting more…
Or maybe you’re looking to unpack the lingering experiences of the past…your past self, past experiences, past patterns that you just can’t seem to shake and get in the way of the living the life you know you want to live.
It’s not due to your lack of effort or inadequacy…
Possibly you’re wrestling with negative criticism of being “too”. Too forgetful, too “go-go-go”, too sensitive, too scattered, too emotional, too inconsistent, too messy. You think too much, talk too much or too fast, do too much…struggling to find a workable balance. Stuck between whatever seems to be “too much” and yet, not enough.
Together, we’ll peel back the layers & figure out what actually works for you
