Neurodiversity-Affirming Services

Diversity in every sense makes the world a better place!

Embracing Neurodiversity, Celebrating Strengths

At the Center for NeuroPotential, we honor neurodiversity: the innate variations in how brains process, focus, sense, and connect. Neurodivergence isn’t a problem to be fixed—it’s a difference. We work collaboratively with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults to harness their unique strengths, while also building support around the challenges they may face.

Who We Help

We support children, teens, and adults experiencing a wide range of neurodevelopmental, emotional, and cognitive challenges. Below are some of the most common concerns we address:

🧠 Neurodevelopmental Conditions

  • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Sensory Processing Differences

  • Learning Disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia)

  • Executive Functioning Difficulties

😔 Emotional & Behavioral Concerns

  • Anxiety (generalized, social, separation)

  • Depression or chronic low mood

  • Emotional dysregulation & frequent outbursts

  • School refusal or avoidance

  • Sleep challenges tied to neurodivergence

😟 Trauma & Stress Responses

  • Trauma related to school, social, or medical experiences

  • Masking, burnout, or identity confusion

  • PTSD or developmental trauma

  • Stress following misdiagnosis or late diagnosis

🧩 Cognitive & Social Struggles

  • Trouble with focus, organization, and task initiation

  • Sensory overload or avoidance

  • Rigid or black-and-white thinking

  • Difficulty with peer relationships

  • Challenges with change or transitions


We tailor care to each individual’s unique needs and strengths—offering not just tools for coping, but support for growth, healing, and self-understanding.

How We Help

💡 Therapy That Honors Neurodivergence

We don’t see neurodivergent traits as problems to fix—we see them as differences to understand and support. Our therapists create a respectful, affirming space where clients feel safe to explore, grow, and thrive. We focus on strengths while offering practical strategies for emotional regulation, executive function, and self-understanding.


🧠 Brain-Based Tools, Real-Life Results

We integrate traditional talk therapy with brain-based interventions that honor the unique ways each person thinks, feels, and learns. Our approach supports emotional regulation, sensory integration, focus, and resilience.

Key tools and approaches include:

  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy
    Respectful, collaborative care that embraces each person’s natural neurocognitive style—focusing on strengths, autonomy, and self-advocacy.

  • Neurofeedback
    A research-based method for training the brain to improve self-regulation, attention, and emotional balance—especially effective for ADHD, anxiety, and sensory processing challenges.

  • Brain-Based Therapy Approaches
    Our clinicians are trained to compassionately and effectively use brain-based approaches, including mindfulness, CBT, DBT, EMDR, expressive art techniques, and play therapy activities.  


📝 Comprehensive Evaluations & Assessments

When deeper understanding is needed, we offer a range of formal evaluations, including:

  • Cognitive and Psychoeducational Testing

  • ADHD and Autism Assessments

  • Emotional and Behavioral Screenings

Our assessments provide clarity, inform diagnoses, and guide customized treatment or school planning.


👨‍👩‍👧 Support for the Whole Family

We work closely with parents, caregivers, and sometimes school teams to build consistent, compassionate support. Services may include:

  • Parent coaching to strengthen connection and reduce stress

  • Behavioral strategies tailored to neurodivergent needs

  • Collaboration with schools or other providers

Our goal is to help families move from frustration to understanding—and to grow together.
