Neurodiversity-Affirming Support After a Diagnosis

Josi Health’s Individual Psychotherapy Program provides one-on-one, neurodiversity-affirming support for children, teens, and adults after an autism or ADHD diagnosis.

Our approach centers self-understanding, emotional wellbeing, and practical support — without trying to change who you are. Therapy is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your unique neurotype, strengths, and goals.

Our Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach

We view autism and ADHD as natural variations in how people think, feel, and experience the world — not deficits to be fixed.
Our clinicians prioritize:

Neurodivergent Respect

For neurodivergent identities and lived experience

Strengths-First Care

Strength-based, non-pathologizing care

Authentic Expression

Reducing pressure to mask or conform

Empowered Autonomy

Supporting autonomy, self-advocacy, and wellbeing

Challenges are explored in the context of environments, expectations, and systems — not as personal failures.

Who Individual Psychotherapy Is For

Individual psychotherapy may be a good fit if you or your child want support with:

Discovery

Processing a new or later-in-life diagnosis

Overwhelm

Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or burnout

Regulation

Emotional regulation and coping strategies

Self-Acceptance

Self-esteem, identity, and self-acceptance

Transitions
