Neurodivergent Therapy
Montgomery County, MD
At Jonah Green and Associates, we view neurodivergence as a unique way of being in the world rather than a disorder. Whether you or a family member are neurodivergent, we will support you in navigating challenges and celebrating strengths.
Our therapists are highly trained in working with neurodivergent individuals, offering specialized support that empowers you to thrive, embrace your authentic self, and develop strategies for success in everyday life.
What Is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence refers to the natural variation in the human brain and its functioning. This includes conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette syndrome, and other cognitive differences. Each neurodivergent individual distinctively experiences the world. We offer tailored support to help you live your life fully and reach your goals.
Common Challenges for Neurodivergent Individuals
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating the complexities of being neurodivergent. We help our clients work through challenges such as:
Struggling with social cues, communication styles, or managing relationships? Our therapists help you build comfortable and fulfilling connections with friends, family, or coworkers.
Many neurodivergent individuals experience heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli. We provide practical tools to help you manage overwhelming environments, whether loud noises, bright lights, or unbearable textures.
We work with you to create systems and routines that help you with organization and time management, making daily life more manageable and helping you build confidence and productivity.
Many neurodivergent people face challenges managing frustration, anger, or anxiety. Our therapists help identify triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms to stay grounded.
For some individuals with neurodivergence, the bombardment of sensory information can feel overwhelming. Our therapists will help you understand your sensory needs and learn strategies for self-care to prevent burnout.
Neurodivergent individuals often feel pressured to “mask” their true selves to fit in. Our therapy approach emphasizes self-acceptance and supports embracing one’s authentic identity.
We support you in understanding your unique brain and exploring your neurodivergent traits, helping you understand how they impact your life and relationships.
We work with you to develop practical strategies for managing everyday challenges, whether staying organized, improving communication, or reducing anxiety.
Feelings of isolation, frustration, or inadequacy are common for neurodivergent individuals. Our therapists provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you navigate these emotions and build self-compassion.
If you have a neurodivergent child, spouse, or family member, we offer guidance on fostering understanding, communication, and connection within your family.
We believe all ways of thinking and being are valuable and will honor your experiences without judgment, enabling you to embrace your neurodivergent brain with pride.
