Hi, I'm Dr. Maddy Hartline, a pre-licensed psychologist dedicated to neurodivergent-affirming therapy. I bring a deep capacity for empathy, a strong alignment with personal values and integrity, and a creative, intuitive mindset that allows me to connect patterns and experiences in meaningful ways. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which are both flexible and effective for managing emotions and building healthier relationships. I also incorporate creative tools, mindfulness, and a strengths-based approach, adapting to your unique needs and how you experience the world.
I help individuals who think and feel deeply (those navigating emotional intensity, identity, neurodivergence, or burnout) find clarity, relief, and meaning in their lives. Whether you identify as autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, or creatively wired, I offer therapy that honors the way your brain works and supports your growth on your own terms.
Many of my clients have felt unseen or told they were “too much.” I offer a space where your feelings, differences, and strengths are honored. You are not a problem to solve, you’re a person to understand. My work centers on authenticity, compassion, and helping you feel more at home in yourself. I’m here to support you on this journey, at your pace.

To me, neurodivergence is not a diagnosis- it's a way of experiencing the world. It's complex, evolving, and deeply human. I don't view your differences as deficits, but as signals: of creativity, empathy, persistence, and perspective. Together, we'll explore your unique strengths and challenges with curiosity, not judgment.
