Neurodivergence & Self-Esteem
Neurodivergence encompasses a range of conditions like ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia, and more. As a therapist for kids and teens in NYC, I believe every young mind thrives when we embrace their individuality. My approach aims to empower the exploration of unique strengths, develop strategies for navigating a world designed differently, and build the confidence to advocate for their needs.
Therapy can help build a future that celebrates all of who you are:
- Honing Your Talents: Therapy helps identify and strengthen people’s unique skills and talents associated with neurodivergence, fostering a sense of pride and confidence.
- Embracing Your Brain: Therapy works to build accommodations that support and meet you where you are, and aims to work with your brain rather than try to “fix it”. We work to understand how your brain works differently, and tailor strategies for navigating and advocating for yourself in a world that is not designed with “everyone” in mind.
- Building Self-Love: Therapy fosters a strong sense of self-acceptance by exploring both strengths and challenges associated with neurodivergence.
- Your Wellness, Your Terms: Learn and personalize strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and social situations. We’ll focus on developing plans that work with you, rather than forcing you to fit someone else’s mold.
