Therapy for Neurodivergence in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
At Transcendent Self Therapy, we honor neurodivergence not as something to correct, but as a distinct way of sensing, processing, and relating. Many neurodivergent people notice patterns others miss, feel the world more intensely, and carry a powerful mix of creativity, depth, and sensitivity.
Therapy here is a place to drop the performance, reduce shame, and understand what your mind and body have been trying to communicate all along — so you can build a life that fits you.
What neurodivergent clients often bring to therapy
You might be here because you’re:
Burnt out from masking or people-pleasing
Struggling with overwhelm, shutdown, or emotional flooding
Navigating sensory sensitivity (sound, light, touch, crowds)
Feeling “too much” or “not enough” — and tired of trying to explain yourself
Dealing with executive functioning challenges: time blindness, organization, follow-through
Experiencing anxiety, depression, rejection sensitivity, or chronic self-criticism
Questioning ADHD/autistic traits later in life (especially for high-achievers and high-maskers)
Feeling misunderstood in relationships, work, or family dynamics
Wanting tools without being forced into a rigid “one-size-fits-all” approach
Our approach to neurodivergence therapy
We don’t treat neurodivergence as a problem to eliminate. We work collaboratively to help you understand your operating system, strengthen what supports you, and reduce what drains you.
1) Identity, meaning, and your story
We explore how neurodivergence has shaped your self-concept, relationships, and the narratives you carry — including the ways shame, misattunement, or “being the odd one out” may have impacted you over time.
2) Nervous system regulation + sensory support
We build practical ways to prevent overwhelm, recover faster, and care for your sensory needs — without pathologizing them. This might include grounding, pacing, boundary work, and understanding your personal stress signatures.
3) Unmasking and authentic expression
We make room for you to speak plainly, have needs, stim, move, pause, or think out loud — and to practice being real in relationship, not “good.”
4) Executive functioning tools that respect your brain
We can work on structure, planning, routines, follow-through, communication, and self-advocacy — in ways that feel supportive rather than punishing.
5) Integration + self-acceptance
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s more ease, more clarity, and a life that fits your rhythms — internally and relationally.
Who we’re a good fit for
We’re often a strong fit for:
Adults exploring ADHD / autistic traits / neurodivergence
High-maskers, high-achievers, creatives, and professionals who feel “on” all the time
People navigating relationships, identity, and self-trust alongside neurodivergence
Anyone who wants affirming, nuanced care — not clichés or “just try harder” advice
