At Prosody Mental Health, my goal is to support individuals to build skills to prosper in their neurodivergent identity. As someone who received my autism diagnosis later in life, I spent a good portion of my life believing that there was something intrinsically wrong with me. In learning about my own neurodivergence, I've learned to love the way my brain works and have built skills to unmask so I can be my authentic self.
I believe that your neurodivergence is not the problem, rather having to learn how to adapt to a world that was not built for you has added undue stress and caused you to create maladaptive coping mechanisms to survive.
I work from a place of lived experience, and utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other treatment modalities as needed to support individuals with autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders (drug and alcohol addiction), disordered eating (including ARFID), and chronic health conditions (including chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and hormone/women's health issues.)
Together we will build opportunities to help you to unmask so that you can authentically be yourself, and learn tools to help you cope with symptoms that have contributed to you not being able to thrive.
