Therapy for Neurodivergent Clients in Orange County and Throughout California
You Don’t Need to Be Fixed.
You Deserve to Be Understood.
Navigating the world as a neurodivergent person can be exhausting. You might feel like you have to mask parts of yourself just to get through the day—or like your needs are always “too much” for others to understand. Whether you’re diagnosed, self-identifying, or exploring what neurodivergence means for you, therapy can be a validating space to be fully yourself.
At Full Vida Therapy, we provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for teens and adults across California. We honor your brain, your body, and your experience—and we work with you, not against your wiring.
What Does Neurodivergence Mean?
Neurodivergence is a natural variation in how brains work. This includes:
Autism / being Autistic
ADHD
Sensory Processing Differences
Learning differences (like dyslexia or dyscalculia)
Tourette Syndrome
Auditory or visual processing disorders
Cognitive or developmental differences
Multiple neurodivergent identities (“multi ND”)
Whether you’ve been formally diagnosed or not, your experience is real.
Therapy Can Support You With:
Burnout from masking or people-pleasing
Overwhelm, sensory fatigue, and shutdowns
Social stress or communication struggles
Executive functioning support
Navigating school or work environments
Identity exploration as a neurodivergent person
Co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma
Building self-trust and unlearning internalized ableism
Our Approach to Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
We don’t pathologize your brain—we partner with it. Our therapists:
Use person-centered, trauma-informed approaches
Focus on validation, empowerment, and sensory safety
Help you explore your identity, needs, and boundaries
Teach nervous system regulation without forcing “normalcy”
Support executive functioning and routine building in a way that works for you
Respect stimming, pacing, and communication preferences
We work with your neurotype—not in spite of it.
Supporting Neurodivergent Teens
Teens may struggle with school demands, social expectations, or pressure to “act normal.” We help neurodivergent teens feel safe, express themselves authentically, and explore tools that support emotional regulation, confidence, and communication—without shaming their differences.
You Deserve a Space Where You Don’t Have to Mask
Therapy doesn’t have to mean adapting to a world that wasn’t built for you. It can be a space where you learn to adapt the world to better fit you.
