Individual psychotherapy for adults

Neurodivergent-affirming therapy for adults.

Therapy should make room for how your mind actually works.

You may be autistic, ADHD, otherwise neurodivergent, questioning, formally diagnosed, or making sense of yourself without a label that quite fits yet.

This is therapy for burnout, masking, executive-function differences, sensory strain, relationships, trauma, and the exhausting work of translating yourself all day.

Ask about therapy availability

What might bring you to therapy.

  • Burnout after years of masking or overfunctioning.
  • Shame around inconsistency, directness, intensity, or recovery needs.
  • Sensory overload and the cost of pushing past it.
  • Communication that repeatedly goes sideways in important relationships.
  • Perfectionism built to compensate for misunderstanding or executive-function differences.
  • Workplaces, families, schools, or religious systems that punished difference.

What neurodivergent-affirming therapy can look like.

We can use direct questions, clear summaries, written or visual organization, more processing time, and practical experiments adjusted to real life rather than moralized when they do not work.

We also look at the environment: which expectations are workable, which are merely familiar, and where a communication problem belongs to a relationship rather than entirely to you.

What may become more possible.

  • Language for needs that does not turn every request into an apology.
  • A clearer sense of capacity instead of character judgment.
  • Earlier recognition of burnout and sensory overload.
  • Routines and relationships built around how your mind works.
  • Less constant self-translation.

The practical details.

Private-pay individual therapy with one therapist from the first conversation onward. The standard fee is $200 per psychotherapy session, typically 50–55 minutes; reduced-fee spots are limited and availability varies. In person in Downtown Round Rock, Texas, with telehealth across Texas.

Who you will work with.

Leila Anderson, LMFT-S, is a Texas Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor with an MMFT from Abilene Christian University. Her background includes residential treatment, crisis care, executive clinical leadership, program design, and treatment planning.

Questions.

Do I need a formal diagnosis?

No. You can bring questions about neurodivergence into therapy whether you are diagnosed, self-identified, uncertain, or still deciding what language fits.

Is therapy only about neurodivergence?

No. It can be central, peripheral, or one part of a larger picture involving relationships, trauma, religious harm, work, identity, grief, or perfectionism.

What does neurodiversity-affirming mean here?

It means we do not begin from the premise that your mind is an incorrect version of someone else’s. We can still be direct, practical, and clear about what is not working.
