Therapy for Queer and Neurodivergent Therapists
You hold space for everyone else.
You spend your days making room for other people's lives. It is harder than anyone admits to find a place to set your own down. This is that place. We offer therapy for clinicians who are queer, neurodivergent, or both, across North Carolina and California, with someone who understands the work from the inside and shares a lot of the lived experience you bring to it.
Being a therapist who needs a therapist
You know how the work goes, and that can make you a tricky person to be a client. You might catch yourself reading the room, softening your answers, or quietly taking care of your own therapist. Maybe you have sat across from someone who seemed a little intimidated by what you do, or someone you ended up managing instead of being helped by. None of that is restful, and none of it is what you came for.
You should not have to explain yourself first
If you are queer or neurodivergent, you already spend enough of your energy translating. Here you do not have to run identity basics or neurodivergence basics before we can get to the actual thing. You do not have to justify your pronouns, your relationships, your sensory needs, or the way your brain works. We start from understanding, not from background.
You get to be the client here
This is the part that matters most. You have permission to put the role down. You can use clinical shorthand or skip it entirely. You can be unsure, messy, or wordless. You do not have to be the competent one, the regulated one, or the person who has it figured out. For one hour, you are not holding anything for anyone.
This is for therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and other mental health clinicians, including pre-licensed and associate clinicians and graduate students still in training. Whether you are queer, neurodivergent, ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, or some combination the field does not have a tidy word for yet, you are welcome here.
Who this is for
What we might work on
Burnout and compassion fatigue, and the particular exhaustion of caring for a living
The isolation of the work, and how few people understand it
Imposter feelings and the pressure to have it all figured out because you are the expert in the room
Your own identity, relationships, history, and the parts of your life that have nothing to do with your caseload
-
That is welcome here, not a problem. We can name it, work with it, or set it aside. You do not have to perform being a good client.
-
No. That is the whole point. You can skip the 101 and get to what you actually came to talk about.

We see clients through our accepted insurance plans and offer self-pay. Reach out and we will walk you through the options.
