Navigating a World Built for a Different Current
Living as an ADHDer or Autistic person in a neurotypical world can feel like you are constantly fighting a tide that others don't even see. Whether you’ve known your "map" for years or are just beginning to understand your neurodivergence, the effort of trying to stay afloat in environments not built for your brain is profound.
At Changing Tides Therapy, we don't see you as a problem to be fixed. We see a person who has had to swim twice as hard to reach the same shore. We walk alongside you as you process the past and find a rhythm that honors your unique way of being.
Neuro-affirming support for ADHD, ASD, and the "silent grief" of being neurodivergent.
For many neurodivergent adults, a diagnosis—or even just a self-realization—often comes with a complex tide of grief. We help you hold space for:
The Grief of Late Discovery: Processing the "what-ifs" of a life that could have been supported sooner.
The Weight of Masking: Validating the deep exhaustion that comes from hiding your true self just to "fit in" with the current.
Healing Past Misunderstandings: Addressing the years of being told you were "too much," "not enough," or just "difficult," when you were actually just neurodivergent.
Acknowledging the Overwhelm: Giving a name to the sensory and social tides that have left you feeling drained or misunderstood.
The Grief of the Unseen Journey
Neurodivergence isn't just about "productivity"—it's about how you experience the world. Our team is trained in neuro-affirming care, meaning we celebrate your wiring rather than trying to change it.
We walk alongside you as you untangle your self-worth from neurotypical expectations, helping you find your footing in a world that is finally beginning to recognize your value.
