If you’re living in North Carolina and are seeking affirming therapy that truly understands Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD experiences, you’re in the right place.

As an Autistic ADHD’er myself, I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy to support fellow Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults and teens 16+. I help you build self-acceptance, embrace your neurotype, and reconnect with your unmasked self.

My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a deeply validating, neurodivergent-affirming lens to help you live a life that fits your brain, strengthens self-trust, and feels authentically yours.

Specialty: Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy for AuDHD’ers

I provide therapy for Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and otherwise neurodivergent adults and teens 16+ across North Carolina.

This work is for folks who want a supportive space to:

  • Understand and honor how your brain processes sensory input, emotions, and relationships

  • Navigate burnout, overwhelm, or shutdown without shame or pressure

  • Replace self‑criticism and internalized ableism with self‑compassion and clarity

Here, neurodivergence is not treated as a problem to fix; instead, it’s respected as a valid, valuable way of being.

You deserve therapy that truly honors how your neurodivergent brain experiences the world— without forcing you to “mask” or conform to neurotypical expectations.

About Your Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapist

I’m Mx. Lauren Johnson (he/him), an Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) therapist providing online neurodivergent-affirming therapy for Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, and otherwise neurodivergent adults and teenagers 16+ throughout the state of North Carolina.

So as to support North Carolina’s mental health care recovery needs, I am temporarily authorized to provide telehealth therapy across North Carolina due to the executive order related to Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Clients often describe my approach as validating, empowering, and deeply attuned to the nuances of neurodivergent life. I provide a space where your nervous system, sensory needs, and communication style are honored— so you can unmask safely, reduce overwhelm, and live more authentically.
