Great to meet you!

Hello,

I’m Nancy Nyabuti, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a master’s degree and over a decade of experience in the mental health field.

My primary focus is supporting adults of all genders who are late diagnosed with ADHD or autism, or beginning to explore their neurodivergence. I help clients understand masking, burnout, executive functioning challenges, and identity. I also support women navigating PMDD and the emotional impact of chronic health conditions, along with clients exploring cultural identity, racial experiences, and belonging.

I identify as neurodivergent, grew up in a neurodiverse family, and have a neurodivergent family of my own. As an immigrant, I also understand how cultural expectations and navigating different communities can shape our sense of self. These experiences inform my warm, collaborative, culturally responsive approach. I want therapy to be a place where you feel understood and can build a life that honors your needs, values, and capacity.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, neurodiversity affirming, and culturally responsive. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma informed care, and family systems to help you understand patterns, build practical coping skills, and strengthen relationships. I adapt our work to your sensory needs, processing style, cultural background, and current capacity.

For clients exploring ADHD or autism later in life, we may work on understanding masking, managing burnout, supporting executive functioning, and making sense of identity. For those navigating PMDD or chronic health conditions, we can explore patterns in mood, energy, and physical symptoms while developing ways to care for your emotional well-being.

Together, we set meaningful goals and break them into manageable steps. I balance validation with gentle challenge, helping you recognize your strengths, communicate your needs, and make changes that feel sustainable.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You don’t need to have everything figured out or share your whole story at once.

I’ll ask questions to understand how your experiences affect daily life, relationships, and well-being. We can also discuss any sensory, communication, or processing needs that would help you feel more comfortable. You’re welcome to ask questions, take pauses, or let me know when something needs clarification.

Together, we’ll identify initial priorities and discuss next steps. My goal is for you to leave with a sense of how we might work together and a starting point that respects your needs and capacity.
