Therapy for Neurodivergence

Neurodivergence includes a range of cognitive styles such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), executive functioning challenges, and other neurodevelopmental conditions. These styles reflect natural differences in how your brain processes information and experiences the world — not something broken — but they can create real struggles in daily life, work, relationships, and self-understanding.

At Therapists of New York, we provide specialized therapy for neurodivergent adults in NYC who want to better manage symptoms like difficulty focusing, emotional overwhelm, sensory sensitivity, and social challenges. Many people come to us feeling frustrated by traditional therapy approaches that don’t fit their unique needs or by advice that misses the mark for neurodivergent brains.

Our therapists combine evidence-based methods such as psychodynamic therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to tailor treatment for neurodivergence. Whether you have a formal diagnosis or suspect you might be neurodivergent, our goal is to help you develop practical skills and deeper self-awareness — so you can thrive on your own terms.

What to expect from neurodivergence therapy at Therapists of New York:

  • Psychodynamic exploration of how neurodivergence impacts your relationships, work performance, and self-esteem. We help you uncover patterns and emotional responses that influence your day-to-day experience.

  • Support for managing sensory processing issues and emotional regulation difficulties through both insight-oriented work and practical strategies.

  • Recognition of strengths unique to neurodivergent individuals, helping you integrate your identity without feeling pressured to mask or conform.

  • Guidance through major life transitions, career challenges, and social situations with increased confidence, grounded in an understanding of your personal history and psychological makeup.

We also offer Executive Function Coaching and therapy with integrated executive function skill building, including strategies for organization, time management, and task switching — all tailored within a psychodynamic framework to address underlying emotional blocks and motivations.

Our therapists understand that therapy for ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergence-focused treatments require a personalized approach. Therapy is about embracing your neurodivergence while gaining tools to reduce stress and improve your overall quality of life.

A therapist who specializes in neurodivergence can help you stop struggling alone and start understanding how your brain works — so you can live more fully and authentically.
