How to find a Neurodivergent Affirming Therapist

Finding a therapist can be a challenging task, and while I wish I could assist you personally, here are some directories where you can find clinicians who are affirming and supportive of neurodivergent individuals.

Neurodivergent Affirming Directories

Finding a therapist can be a challenging task, here are some directories where you can find clinicians who are affirming and supportive of neurodivergent individuals.

✦ Neurodivergent Insights Directory: A directory of therapists, coaches, and occupational therapists who are members of the Neurodivergent Insights Learning Nook. These professionals are committed to neurodivergent-affirming practices, and many are neurodivergent themselves.

✦ ND Therapists is a Neurodivergent Directory of openly neurodivergent therapists (newer, but grows weekly!)

✦ Inclusive Therapists is a Directory of justice-oriented therapists. You can filter by specialties, insurance, and whether or not they provide a sliding scale. Click here for autism.

✦ Therapy Den is a directory of progressive therapists. You can use our search tools to find therapists who specifically identify as “neurodiversity-affirming.” You can also filter your search by other specialties and accepted insurance.

✦ Directory of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Affirming Providers

✦ Neurodivergent Practitioners: A directory of neurodivergent coaches and practitioners.

✦ Thriving Autistic hosts an international, neurodivergent-led directory of neuro-affirming practitioners.

Intersectional and Neurodivergent-Adjacent Directories

✦ Ground Breakers is a therapy directory connecting BIPOC clients with culturally affirming BIPOC therapists. Focused on trauma and EMDR, it’s a valuable resource for BIPOC neurodivergent individuals. Though not ND-specific, it was founded by a neurodivergent individual with a mission to break stigmas, break cycles, and break new ground in healing.

✦ Queer Healers: This directory offers a diverse range of healers, from herbalists and astrologers to cranial-sacral therapists, psychotherapists, massage therapists, and doulas. While not explicitly focused on neurodivergence, this resource is valuable due to the overlap in communities, providing helpful support for many.

Assessment

✦ Neuroclastic has a global directory of assessors

✦ Neurodivergent Insights directory of Autism and ADHD assessors (if you would like to be added to the directory as an assessor, input your information here)

Sensory Supports

If you struggle with sensory processing, you know how overwhelming it can be to navigate this world! That’s where sensory supports come in. These tools and resources can help regulate sensory input, reduce stress, and increase sensory safety. From fidget toys and noise-canceling headphones to weighted blankets and sensory-friendly clothing, there are lots of supports out there! In this section, you’ll find some of my favorite sensory supports and resources.
