Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults and Teens Across MA, CT, & RI
You work hard…really hard. Maybe you’ve built a successful career, raised a family, got straight A’s, or you’re just the one everyone relies on when things fall apart.
From the outside, you’re dependable and accomplished. But inside it feels very different. No matter how much you do, it never feels like enough. You might carry quiet guilt or shame, constantly comparing yourself to others or the impossible standards you’ve set for yourself.
Lately, you may also be realizing you’re neurodivergent, discovering ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD later in life. That insight can bring clarity, but also grief for the years spent masking, overcompensating, and working twice as hard to fit into a world that wasn’t built for you.
I provide therapy specifically tailored to your neurotype, helping you navigate life, career, relationships, and personal growth.
Neurodivergence: Supporting ADHD, Autism, and Unique Brains
I support adults, teens, and co-parents with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, and related differences in thinking and processing. I also work with different learning styles, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and Tourette’s Syndrome, as well as sensory processing issues such as misophonia.
In therapy, we focus on:
-
Executive functioning
-
Emotional regulation
-
Career challenges
-
Relationship and social navigation
Therapy is not about changing who you are. It’s about helping you thrive in your unique brain. You will develop a sense of relief, validation, and clarity for the first time, finding someone who finally “gets” how their mind works.
ADHD Evaluations for Neurodivergent Adults and Teens in Newington & Across MA, CT, RI
If you suspect ADHD, a formal evaluation can provide clarity, validation, and a roadmap for support. My ADHD Evaluations include:
-
Comprehensive testing and diagnostic interviews
-
Personalized strategies for work, home, and relationships
-
Guidance tailored to moms, parents, teens 13+, executives, and professionals
Evaluations help you understand your brain and access tools that make daily life, work, and parenting more manageable.
Parenting Support for Neurodivergent Families
Parenting is challenging. Especially when neurodivergence is part of the family. I work with parents and co-parents to:
-
Understand your child’s neurodivergence and learning differences
- Understand your own neurodivergence & learning differences, how these show up in your parenting, and how to manage the overwhelm
-
Build practical strategies for home routines, school transitions, and sensory regulation
-
Navigate co-parenting conflicts and improve communication
-
Address feelings of shame, guilt, burnout, and self-doubt
For neurodivergent parents, therapy focuses on self-compassion, realistic expectations, and finding parenting strategies that actually work for your brain and your child’s. Many parents feel relief when they realize their struggles are not personal failings. They are brain differences requiring different approaches.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
Hi! I’m Alyssa, licensed therapist, business owner, mom of littles, AuDHD human
I know what it’s like to juggle career, parenting, relationships, and your own emotions with a neurodivergent brain — because I’ve lived it. As both a therapist and a mom with AuDHD, I’ve learned how to move beyond survival mode, calm the overwhelm, and build self-trust. Now I help my clients do the same — with evidence-based tools, lived experience, and a healthy dose of humor.

Compartmentalizing vs. A Container: The Difference Between Surviving and Choosing in EMDR
One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is when a client asks a question that changes the way I think. Recently, while preparing for an EMDR session, a client asked, "I'm already really good at compartmentalizing. Why would I need the Container exercise?" It's...
Why Rest Still Feels Hard After Burnout
The first morning of my vacation last week, I slipped away to an infrared sauna by myself. (Oh how I love being slow roasted in a tiny oven). A few years ago, I probably would’ve spent that hour thinking about work outside of work (dreaming about my side business...
