About Us: Exploring Divergence is a neurodivergent-affirming private practice specializing in therapy for ADHD, autistic, and otherwise neurodivergent adults. We support professionals, gamers, parents, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, trauma, and substance recovery—through a strengths-based, anti-pathology lens.

Our clients are smart, accomplished, and exhausted from trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for their brains. We help them understand their neurodivergence, build practical strategies, reduce masking, and thrive on their own terms.
