Wanting to feel better is a sign of strength, and we can build on that to achieve your mental health goals. You deserve a space where you feel listened to, understood, and accepted—without pressure or judgment. Maybe you’ve been through hard things that still affect you. Or relationships feel difficult, or you’ve started to wonder if ADHD or autism are part of your story, or you know that they are. You might feel anxious, shut down, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy that is built upon kindness, humility, and a deep regard helps.
Whether you’re navigating the lingering effects of trauma, seeking clarity around your neurodivergence, or exploring how to relate more authentically with yourself and others—I welcome you. Together, we’ll explore your experiences at your pace, building new insights and emotional tools that support long-term growth and meaningful change.
As someone with both lived and clinical experience of neurodiversity, I understand that traditional therapy models don’t always fit. I work flexibly and creatively with clients—especially women and late-diagnosed adults—to validate your experiences and help you move toward greater self-understanding.
Take the first step to help. Call or Lori A Garfinkel now - (262) 588-4328
