Therapy That’s Built for You — Neurodiversity-Affirming & Trauma-Informed Care

If you’ve ever felt like therapy wasn’t designed for how your brain works — like you had to mask, explain yourself, or fit into a framework that just doesn’t match — it’s time to try something different.

At Sound Mind Counseling, we offer neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapy that meets you exactly where you are.

Whether you’re navigating autism, ADHD, trauma, burnout, or exploring your identity, therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

Our Approach: Evidence-Based, Tailored to Neurodivergence & Trauma

We combine proven therapeutic methods with a deep understanding of how trauma, neurodivergence, and identity intersect, so you get care designed for you, not a generic template.

  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
    Practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building healthy relationships.

  • Polyvagal & Somatic Therapies
    Learn how your nervous system responds to stress and trauma—and how to work with it, not against it.

  • Neuroaffirming EMDR
    Traditional EMDR isn’t designed for neurodivergent brains, so we tailor it to your sensory needs, processing style, and communication preferences. No rigid scripts — just effective trauma healing.

  • Person-Centered & Autistic-Centered Therapy
    No forced eye contact. No social skills training. No pressure to conform. Just space to explore what you need.

  • Expressive Arts & Creative Modalities
    Use art, writing, and movement to express and process emotions when words aren’t enough.

  • Internal Family Systems, Structural Dissociation, & Ego States Theory
    Understand and work with the different parts of yourself that respond to trauma and stress.

One-on-one therapy for autistic and ADHD adults focusing on burnout, unmasking, self-acceptance, and trauma recovery with a neuroaffirming approach

For Autistic & ADHD Adults

Many late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps. Together, we can explore:


✔ Burnout Recovery — Recognize and heal from autistic and ADHD burnout.

✔ Unmasking & Self-Acceptance — Understand your masking patterns and safely unlearn what no longer serves you.

✔ Support Needs & Accommodations — Identify and advocate for what you truly need in daily life.

✔ Resources & Workbooks — Structured tools to help you navigate life’s challenges.

✔ Advocacy & Self-Compassion — Build confidence to assert your needs at work, in relationships, and healthcare.

✔ Sensory-Friendly Trauma Processing — Tailored EMDR and trauma treatments matched to your sensory profile and comfort.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Therapy should feel safe, validating, and useful—not like another space where you have to mask or over-explain. Get in touch.
