How Does Holistic Psychotherapy NYC Support Neurodivergent Clients?
At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we welcome and affirm the full spectrum of neurodivergent experiences. We understand that everyone processes the world differently, and we’re here to honor your strengths, your challenges, and your individual way of moving through life.
Rather than focusing on changing or “fixing” behaviors to match neurotypical expectations, our therapists collaborate with you to reduce stigma, support self-understanding, and adapt therapeutic approaches to meet your unique communication style and needs. We offer a validating space where neurodivergent clients can explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion.

How Can Therapy Help with Sensory Sensitivities?
For many neurodivergent individuals, sensory sensitivities are a core part of their lived experience. At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we approach these sensitivities through a somatic and relational lens—supporting clients in tuning into the body’s signals rather than suppressing them.
Therapy focuses on building a compassionate relationship with your sensory system. You and your therapist can explore how sensory input affects regulation and well-being, identify grounding strategies, and create a more supportive relationship with your environment.
How Does Therapy Support Social Communication Differences?
Social communication differences are often misunderstood or pathologized. At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we offer a space where your natural communication style is met with respect and curiosity—not correction.
Our therapists work with you to explore how you express yourself, how you relate to others, and how you experience connection. Instead of trying to conform to neurotypical standards, we focus on authentic communication, relational repair, and self-acceptance.
What Support Is Available for Executive Functioning Challenges?
Executive functioning challenges—such as difficulty with planning, transitions, or task initiation—can be frustrating and are often accompanied by feelings of shame or overwhelm. At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we view these challenges through a nervous system-informed perspective, recognizing how stress, trauma, or sensory overload may impact your capacity.
Therapy helps you explore internal rhythms, reconnect with your natural flow, and develop personalized tools to navigate daily demands. We focus on strategies that feel supportive, not punitive, so that you can move through life with more ease and confidence.
