That’s Where Informed Therapy Group Comes In!
At Informed Therapy Group, we get it. We have therapists who specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and Autism. We don’t try to change you, because there is nothing wrong with YOU. Instead, we celebrate your individual strengths and help you navigate the world in a way that works for you.
Here’s the Lowdown on How We Can Help:
Understanding Yourself
We’ll help you learn more about your specific neurodivergence and how it affects your thoughts, feelings, and actions. This can be super empowering! Imagine finally understanding why you get so frustrated with meal planning but can clean the entire house in under an hour before company visits. Knowledge is power, and knowing yourself better can be a game-changer.
Building Your Strengths
You’ve got incredible talents and skills – let’s explore them! We’ll help you identify your strengths and figure out how to use them to become even more awesome. Maybe you’re a creative genius who can build amazing things, or perhaps you have a hyper-focused attention span that lets you learn complex topics in record time. Let’s turn these strengths into superpowers you can use in all areas of your life!
Coping with Challenges
Sometimes, being neurodivergent can feel overwhelming. Sensory overload from loud noises or visual clutter can be a real struggle, and managing emotions can feel like a rollercoaster ride. We’ll teach you tools and strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. These might be relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness exercises, or maybe it’s creating a calming sensory space in your home. We’ll find what works best for you.
Improving Social Connections
Making friends and interacting with others can be tough for some neurodivergent people, and can impact your personal and professional life. We can help you develop social skills and communication strategies that make you feel comfortable. Maybe you struggle to understand social cues – things like unspoken rules – or perhaps you have trouble expressing yourself verbally. We can work on these challenges together, finding ways to connect with others in ways that feel natural to you.
Creating Organizational Systems
Does your home look like a mini-tornado hit it? We can help you develop organizational skills and create routines that work for your brain. Maybe traditional planners don’t work for you – that’s okay! We can explore visual schedules, and color-coding systems, or even use timers and alarms to stay on track. The goal is to find organizational tools and systems that fit your style and help you thrive.
Honoring Yourself
Being different is awesome, but sometimes it can feel lonely. We’ll help you build your self-esteem and embrace your neurodivergent identity. Society often tells us there’s a “right” way to be, but that’s just not true! We can work through any hurtful labels or messages we’ve been given and overcome any guilt or shame so that we can celebrate our whole selves.
