I welcome you to my practice where I specialize in facilitating multicultural counseling and trauma-informed mind-body psychotherapy treatment interventions to stop/rewire painful sensory surfacing in the body and trauma memory symptoms that most neurodivergent clients (Autism & ADHD) suffer. However, I work with Neurotypical clients who also suffer from PTSD, grief, anxiety, DID, developmental trauma.....etc. I am neurodivergent myself, so I have personal experience in how the neurodivergent brain differs from my neurotypical clients'. Meaning; I tweaked the psycho-ed/tips to be understood and applied more easily for us Neurodi.
Emotional/Physical trauma cases are complex and require a mind-body psychotherapist who specializes in how to identify the subconscious drivers to apply treatments that target the underlying causes; and safely to rewire the brain’s response to stressors, so you leave calmer "knowing" you can up your resilience/confidence by "feeing" you changed!
My clients are coached through the mind directed mechanics of the brain, so they leave with their brains rewired ready/adapted to live (not survive) life's' ups and downs with more confidence and self-acceptance. Self-respect is the healthy way to be selfish, and my goal is for you to reach your meaning of: living respectfully selfish. -ms MISSY ms

My in person The Brain-Hack Cafe by Emotionally Rewired facility is a sensory haven for my fellow neurodivergent clients to immersion learn about themselves as both a disabled and gifted mind-holder. Meaning a person born with difference, outside the box thinking, and more potential than neurotypicals know about us. I invite clients to use memory how it evolved to be utilized and self respected.

When the body and mind is present within a felt state of safety, the mind can accept it's past with the body abled to move forward. You will adapt new strategies and use the coping skills taught and practiced in session daily. A calm physical state of safety is established first with therapy like brainspotting and somatic experiential leaning...then we get to work with talk therapies like CBT.
