Great to meet you!

As an AuDHDer myself, I understand both personally and professionally what it's like to navigate a world that wasn't built with your unique needs in mind. Being autistic and/or ADHD doesn’t necessarily have to be the focal point of the sessions (but it can be, if you want it to be!). Whether you are diagnosed, self-diagnosed, suspecting or curious, this insight is helpful because being neurodivergent impacts so many of our thoughts, decisions, experiences, and the ways that we navigate the world. In therapy, I often use neurodivergent affirming, person-centered, motivational interviewing, relational and strengths-based approaches.

My approach to therapy

My hope is that you feel heard, understood, supported and accommodated to unmask and show up authentically you in sessions! We can work together to decide how therapy can be most helpful for you and create neurodivergent affirming interventions that work for you uniquely. I create many of my own autistic/ADHD worksheets and resources as well.

What you can expect from me

It’s an honor to be trusted with my clients’ most vulnerable thoughts, and it's a responsibility I don't take lightly! I'm not able to take new clients until September 2026, but ordinarily I schedule during the daytime on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You can learn more about me and my practice through my website: www.kelseychizmartherapyllc.com
