Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Carissa, and I am part of a group practice, AuDHD Practice PLLC, that works primarily with neurodivergent clients (ADHD, Autism, etc.). My aim is to provide a warm, affirming, safe space for people on the spectrum and their loved ones. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering mental health and counseling services.

My approach to therapy

My approach can be described as person-centered and empowering, affirming. Together we will explore and uncover your unique potential, so that you can start living more boldly and authentically.

What you can expect from me

Our sessions together are designed to meet you where you are at, and at the tempo and rhythm that feels right to you. During our first session, I will be asking some questions about yourself (and also will be doing a lot of listening!). My goal is to understand what brings you into therapy and to set expectations so that you can feel comfortable and empowered moving forward.
