Neurodiversity Therapy in Los Angeles
At TLA Therapy, we embrace neurodiversity, the perspective that conditions like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Tourette’s are natural variations of the human brain, not deficits that need to be "cured." Our neurodiversity-affirming therapists in Los Angeles provide a supportive space where neurodivergent individuals can navigate challenges, celebrate their strengths, and receive compassionate, tailored care.
What is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity challenges outdated views of neurological conditions as “disorders” that must be cured. Instead, it recognizes that brains function differently, and those differences should be respected and supported. However, living in a world that isn't built for neurodivergent minds can create challenges, this is where neurodiversity-affirming therapy can help.
ADHD Therapy
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with executive functioning (the brain’s capacity for planning, carrying out tasks, and making decisions). Individuals with ADHD can experience:
Inattention: difficulties sustaining attention throughout unpreferred tasks, difficulties with organization and planning, avoidance of tasks, being easily distracted or forgetful
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity: feeling restless, needing to fidget or move around when seated, interrupting others, needing to say or do things right away
Living with neurodivergence can feel chronically invalidating, as symptoms are often misunderstood (for example, interpreted as laziness, defiance, or selfishness). Our team aims to provide a compassionate space for individuals to process their experiences and equip themselves with ways to problem-solve and cope effectively in their lives.
Our licensed ADHD therapists in Los Angeles offer practical strategies, validation, and executive function support tailored to your needs.
Autism Therapy
Autism is a developmental condition that exists on a spectrum and has a broad and ever-evolving definition of what it encompasses. Individuals with autism have varying support needs and come with unique sets of strengths and challenges. Our autism-affirming therapists help individuals understand their neurotype, develop coping strategies, and thrive in a world that may not always accommodate them. Autism can impact individuals in a wide variety of ways, including:
Social communication and interpersonal challenges
Repetitive/ restrictive behaviors and difficulties with change or flexibility
Sensory differences in the form of over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, or pain
High focus on special interests or hobbies
Intense meltdowns or shutdowns
Anxiety and other mental health issues
Our autism spectrum therapy services are designed to honor neurodivergent identities while providing tools for self-advocacy, emotional regulation, and improved well-being.
