Kaitlin Stallings

I enjoy working with neurodiverse individuals and families across the lifespan, especially ADHD and autistic clients. I often support clients navigating burnout, late diagnosis, college and career transitions, pregnancy and parenthood, relationships, and co-occurring mental or physical health concerns. My work considers the whole person, not just symptoms, including how neurotype interacts with health, relationships, work, identity, environment, and major life transitions. I aim to help clients better understand these connections and build lives that work with their needs, strengths, and values.

Collaboration, practicality, and autonomy guide our work together. Rather than assuming there's one way to function, we'll look at what's creating friction in your life and explore skills, supports, accommodations, or environmental changes that fit you better. Depending on your goals, we might work on executive functioning, self-advocacy, relationships and emotional patterns, sustainable work, health, or navigating a major life transition.

I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), existential approaches, psychoeducation, and other evidence-based strategies based on your individual needs. Therapeutic work extends beyond our time together in session. Each client has a shared resource folder where we can collaborate, organize useful materials, and revisit resources between sessions.

There’s no expectation to tell your whole story or arrive with precise goals in the first session. I view intake and treatment planning as a collaborative process that usually unfolds over 2–4 sessions, giving us time to understand your history, strengths, current challenges, relationships, health, and what matters most to you. Together, we'll identify connections, priorities, and initial goals and discuss different options for how therapy can support you. I aim to understand the broader picture without making you feel rushed to explain everything at once.
