Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Andrea Guzman, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience specializing in ADHD, autism, learning differences, and executive functioning challenges in teens and adults.

If you've spent years feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, disorganized, burned out, or frustrated by expectations that don't seem to fit the way your brain works, you're not alone.

As a longtime school-based therapist, I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent teens and adults and understand how ADHD, autism, and learning differences can affect school, work, relationships, confidence, and everyday life.

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—not another place where you're being told what you're doing wrong. And yes, I believe a little humor can go a long way.

Together, we'll identify what's getting in your way and build strategies that actually work for your brain, rather than trying to force you into someone else's system.

I commonly work with clients experiencing ADHD, autism, executive functioning difficulties, anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, school or work stress, relationship challenges, and adjustment to a new diagnosis.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just need to be ready to start figuring it out together.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating ADHD, autism, executive functioning challenges, learning differences, burnout, anxiety, and self-esteem. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, collaborative, compassionate, and practical.

Rather than focusing on changing who you are, we'll work together to understand how your brain works and develop strategies and systems that fit your strengths, needs, and real life.

Whether you're struggling with organization, motivation, emotional regulation, school, work, relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday demands, we'll identify practical tools that you can actually use outside of therapy.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about your current challenges, strengths, goals, and experiences with ADHD, autism, learning differences, school, work, relationships, or daily life.

You don't need to have everything organized or know exactly what to say. We'll take it at your pace.

My approach is warm, collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming—and yes, there's room for humor.

Together, we'll identify what's working, what's not, and what you'd like to change. We'll then begin developing a treatment plan that fits your goals, strengths, and the way you actually function in everyday life.
