Understanding Neurodiversity in Relationships
Neurodiverse relationships come with unique challenges and amazing strengths.
We understand that what works for neurotypical couples may not resonate with a neurodiverse partnership.
We Understand Neurodiverse
Specializing in neurodiverse couples therapy, we understand the unique dynamics and challenges that arise when neurodivergent and neurotypical worlds merge.
We Are Neurodiverse
Being in a neurodiverse relationship ourselves, we bring personal experience and understanding to our practice, offering an empathetic understanding of the challenges you face.
We Tailor Solutions That Work
One size DOES NOT fit all.
​
We address couples' issues individually and use methods tailor-fit to their unique situations to ensure therapy sessions are effective and lasting.
That’s why our neuro-affective approach is specifically designed to meet the needs of neurodiverse individuals, including those on the Autism Spectrum, with ADHD, or other neurodivergent profiles.

How Neuro-Effective
Couples Therapy Works
Learn | Move | Heal
Our Learn Move Heal method is a structured approach that helps couples understand neurodiverse dynamics. We focus on psychoeducation to fill in gaps in understanding about each partner's neurotype, fostering empathy and a better foundation for growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is adapted to the needs of neurodiverse individuals to help reframe negative thoughts, facilitating clearer and more empathetic communication. By understanding how neurodivergent individuals process emotions, couples develop tools for more effective connection.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on accepting emotional experiences and committing to actions that improve relationships. It allows each partner to respect differences while aligning with their values, fostering deeper connection.
Sensory Processing Techniques
Sensory processing differences can create tension in relationships. We work on recognizing sensory triggers and finding effective adjustments to build supportive environments that benefit both partners.
The Double Empathy Framework
The Double Empathy Framework helps both partners understand each other's perspectives by acknowledging that communication issues are two-sided. This mutual understanding fosters a balanced and empathetic relationship.

Struggled With ADHD and Addiction
I knew that it wasn’t Ian that was keeping me sober and clean; it was my use of the tools and techniques that he taught me, which is a credit to his methods. I was not dependent on him being here for me to remain sober and continue moving forward.
Struggled For 15 Years Alone
I feel emboldened, and confident, I don't have to sit in fear or shame. I have tools, techniques, and a corrected mental attitude on how to not only handle my addiction, but the whirlwind of trials that life throws out me.
