Know Thy Autistic Self
Welcome to My Autistic Therapist! I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Danielle (she/they) and I hope I can be your Autistic therapist. I am an AuDHD+ therapist who specializes in working only with other Autistic folx who are looking for radically neurodivergent-affirming support. If you've tried therapy before but found it frustrating to work with someone who couldn't fully understand, I get it. I am particularly well suited to work with autistic folx with co-occurring chronic health conditions (EDS, POTS, ME, etc), ADHD, OCD, personality disorders (OCPD, BPD, etc), anxiety, depression, and trauma (PTSD and cPTSD).
​
My therapy style is Autistic-Centered (meaning I do not pathologize your Autistic brain and experience) and I pull from a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet your needs such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, mindfulness, Trauma-informed therapies (EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, parts work), existential and psychodynamic.
​
Being Autistic in our world is deeply challenging, especially if you've had to navigate it alone. Therapy can provide a safe space for you to be understood and find ways to improve your life in a non-judgmental and accommodating space. I look forward to meeting you!
​
In addition to therapy, I also facilitate a monthly Autistic Parent Support Group and as well as an ongoing Late-Discovered Autistic Support And Learning Community.
