Understanding Neurodivergence

Every brain works differently, and those differences are a natural part of human diversity. Being neurodivergent means your brain processes, learns, or experiences the world in ways that don’t always fit into what’s considered “typical.” This includes conditions such as ADHD, autism, learning differences, and sensory processing sensitivities.

While neurodivergence comes with unique strengths like creativity, hyperfocus, problem-solving, and resilience, it can also create challenges in a world not always designed to meet your needs.

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide neurodivergent-affirming online therapy across Ontario. Whether you’re seeking support for ADHD or other aspects of neurodivergence, we create a safe space where your experiences are respected, your strengths are recognized, and therapy works with your brain, not against it.

Therapists in Our Practice Offering Therapy for Neurodivergence and ADHD

Who We Work With

Our therapists support adults who:

  • Have an ADHD diagnosis or suspect they may have ADHD

  • Identify as autistic or AuDHD (autism + ADHD)

  • Struggle with executive functioning (organization, time management, focus)

  • Experience sensory sensitivities, overwhelm, or burnout

  • Live with masking or feel pressure to “fit in”

  • Face challenges with social communication or relationships

  • Want to better understand and embrace their neurodivergent identity

You do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit from therapy. If you identify as neurodivergent, this space is for you.

Common Challenges Neurodivergent Clients Face

How Therapy Can Help

We use evidence-based, neurodivergent-affirming approaches tailored to your needs, including:

Therapy is not about “fixing” you... it’s about supporting you in navigating the world while embracing your unique brain.

Benefits of Neurodivergent & ADHD Therapy

  • Learn practical tools for focus, organization, and time management

  • Reduce overwhelm, sensory stress, and masking burnout

  • Build healthier coping strategies for anxiety and depression

  • Strengthen relationships and improve communication

  • Increase self-confidence and embrace your identity

  • Access a supportive space where you don’t have to explain or justify your differences

Why Online Therapy Works Well for Neurodivergent Clients

Virtual therapy offers flexibility and comfort. Sessions can be adapted to your sensory and attention needs, whether that means adjusting lighting, taking breaks, or moving around during calls.

Benefits of online therapy for neurodivergent clients:

  • Attend from a safe, familiar environment

  • Adjust your space (fidgets, headphones, background) for comfort

  • Flexible scheduling that works with your routines

  • Access to affirming therapists anywhere in Ontario

Everyday Examples of Therapy in Action

  • ADHD: Learning strategies for task initiation, organization, and emotional regulation.

  • Autism/AuDHD: Exploring sensory needs, communication styles, and building self-acceptance.

  • Burnout: Recognizing signs of masking fatigue and creating sustainable routines.

  • Self-esteem: Shifting from “what’s wrong with me” to “my brain works differently and that’s okay.”

Our Neurodivergent-Affirming Philosophy

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we believe:

  • Neurodivergence is not a problem to be solved; it’s a form of human diversity.

  • Therapy should highlight your strengths and creativity as much as your challenges.

  • You deserve a space where you don’t have to mask, explain, or shrink yourself to be accepted.
