The Benefits of Working With a Neurodivergent Therapist for Neurodivergent Clients

Finding the right therapist can be difficult. For neurodivergent clients, finding a therapist who truly understands their needs is often even harder. Neurodivergent clients often spend years being misunderstood, having their experiences invalidated, or told they are “too much” or “not trying hard enough.” Working with a neurodivergent therapist can feel noticeably different in ways that matter.

Shared lived experience can create understanding that does not require constant explanation. For many neurodivergent clients, that difference alone can change how safe therapy feels.
