What is neurodivergent friendly therapy?
We here at the Pincus Center think neurodiversity is uniquely important to who each of us is as a person. If you’re a uniquely wired person, it’s important to have a therapist who can understand you without boxing you into societal expectations. That’s why, at The Pincus Center, therapy isn’t about teaching you how to better mask your autism or ADHD; it’s about finding out how to best support you, your relationships, and your unique way of experiencing the world.
It’s therapy that adapts to you, not the other way around. Contact us today to get matched with a therapist!
Why should I seek a therapist who is neurodivergent affirming?
Whether you’re seeking individual therapy or relationship therapy, it’s exceptionally important to have a therapist who can support you and your partner or partners. Whether you’re navigating the intricacies of a mixed-neurotype relationship or figuring out how to move through the world as a neurodiverse person, we are here to support you in it.
We help you find strategies that actually work for you and not just a neurotypical world. This includes learning strategies to manage rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), persistent drive for autonomy (also known as pathological demand avoidance or PDA), and other areas unique to neurodiverse people.
