Neurodivergence Support
No two brains work the same way, and for those who are neurodivergent, the world can sometimes feel like it wasn’t designed with them in mind. Neurodivergence, including conditions like ADHD and autism, affects the way individuals think, learn, and interact with their surroundings. Challenges like focus issues, executive dysfunction, social difficulties, and sensory sensitivities can make everyday life more complex. However, being neurodivergent also comes with strengths—creativity, deep focus, and unique problem-solving abilities. Therapy provides tailored strategies to help you navigate life in a way that honors your strengths while addressing challenges. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for your unique brain and lifestyle.

"Working with Amanda Phillips has been life-changing. Her compassion, insight, and patience are apparent in every session. After years of working together, I can honestly say that Amanda is the best therapist I have ever had.

I cannot recommend Amanda Phillips highly enough-- her practice has helped me build compassion for myself and find joy in doing the work of personal growth."
