Neuroaffirming Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults

Does anything sound familiar?

  • I’m feeling overwhelmed and burnt out trying to navigate a society that caters to neurotypical standards, experiences, and expectations.

  • I’m feeling stuck or paralyzed, trying endless ways to get it perfect, and I don’t know where to go next.

  • I’m feeling like mental health professionals invalidate me or don’t know how to help.

  • I’m wanting a place where I can unmask and be true to myself.

Strengthening Wellness offers help & support for adults with ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD in Corpus Christi & virtually across Texas.

Let’s work with your brain, instead of against it.

Whether you are aware of or diagnosed since childhood, were late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed/self-identified, have autistic/ADHD traits or suspect in yourself; we are happy to be here for you and with you.

You are worthy of compassion and are capable of building and sustaining a meaningful life. It’s okay to be who you are, even when you feel different.

We can offer you help and tools to embrace your unique qualities and break free from painful & negative patterns in your life.

Different is good…

At our practice, we believe that all pieces of wellness, including cultural healing and beliefs, the power of community, and the benefits of a safe space, are valuable and worthy.

Real Experts caring for Real People

We are trained in specialized knowledge from empirically based research and applicable theoretical approaches for a multiculturally humble and aware perspective. (We’re really book-smart!) And we have enough care for the whole person to translate all that data, research, and science into the best care for the most important person in the room…YOU.

Therapy is not one-size fits all.

We work with you and what you need from therapy. Not into worksheets or homework? No problem! You want homework? Of course! Space to talk and process works best? You got it. You want us to take the lead? We got you.
