Are you or a family member living with a diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis) of one of the following?
Are you struggling to fit into the complex world of neurotypical people (that’s everyone else!) and feeling lost?
If so, our Supporting Neurodiversity services are for you.
Navigating the world as a neurodiverse adult comes with unique challenges and strengths. Neurodiverse counseling offers a safe, understanding space to address challenges, embrace strengths, and develop strategies for thriving in your personal and professional life. At Thrive Counseling Center in Federal Way, we specialize in creating personalized care for neurodiverse adults.
Counseling helps you better understand your neurodiverse identity, including how it influences your thoughts, behaviors, and interactions with the world. Through guided sessions, you can uncover patterns, strengths, and areas for growth. This self-awareness fosters greater self-acceptance and empowers you to embrace your uniqueness and build confidence in every aspect of your life.
Neurodiverse adults often encounter challenges like sensory overload, time management, or communication differences. Counseling provides practical, personalized strategies to navigate these hurdles. Whether it’s learning mindfulness techniques, building routines, or improving social skills, these tools are tailored to your specific needs so you can manage stress and improve your overall quality of life.
Relationships can be complex for anyone, but neurodiverse adults may face unique challenges in communication or understanding others’ perspectives. Counseling offers insights into how your neurodiverse traits influence your interactions, along with strategies to foster deeper, more meaningful connections. Counseling helps you build stronger, healthier bonds with others.
At Thrive Counseling Center, we regularly provide counseling for neurodiverse adults in Federal Way, WA.
Because living in a largely neurotypical society can be challenging to those with neurodiverse minds, our team of counseling professionals works hard to develop treatment and coping strategies to help neurodiverse individuals navigate the complexities of life. We accomplish this by focusing our therapies on common areas of concern such as romantic relationships, friendships, independent living, and the workplace.
Our goal is that our counseling for neurodiverse adults will help those individuals feel:
We offer therapy sessions both for neurodiverse adults and their loved ones so that everyone can gain a better understanding of neurodiversity and come to truly appreciate the role it plays in their relationships.
We work with families, couples, friends, and parents who want to improve the way they communicate and learn more about how neurodiverse adults view the world. We teach those with neurodiversity how to more effectively engage with other members of society and how to improve the quality of their interactions with their peers.
Because we celebrate neurodiversity and see it as a gift, we offer counseling from a unique perspective that helps strengthen neurodiverse relationships.

Our world is a complicated place to live in, and there isn’t a perfect rule book of what to do, what to say, and when to do or say it.
Individuals who live with neurodiverse brains see and engage with the world differently. Unfortunately, our world and its “rules” are not always friendly to those with neurodiverse minds.
If we were to pause and take inventory of all the ways our brains work, we would quickly realize that the brain is capable of amazing things (although we know it doesn’t always feel this way). Many times we find that those living with a “diagnosis” actually have ways of engaging in the world in ways neurotypicals (that’s everyone else) only wish they could!
Our professional counselors know how to approach neurodiversity in Federal Way, and our resources have helped many adults improve their understanding of how to interact with the world around them.
Neurodiversity celebrates the natural variations in the human brain as unique strengths. Therapy for neurodiverse individuals offers a supportive and empowering space to embrace their unique strengths and navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

Celebrating neurodiversity means that we get to honor the many different ways there are of living and being in the world.
If you are neurodiverse, the way you engage in the world is not wrong—it’s just different. Celebrating neurodiversity means that we don’t assume that one way of living in the world is better than another. Each unique person, and the way their brain works, has its strengths and advantages, as well as unique challenges.
Supporting neurodiversity at our Federal Way counseling office means that we help identify your strengths as well as your challenges. Then, we get to use your strengths to target the areas of life that you are struggling with.

What we know from our years of experience is that many common approaches to counseling and therapy just don’t work for neurodiverse individuals. Our counseling team understands this and utilizes evidence-based, solution-focused, and strengths-based approaches in our work with neurodiverse individuals, their partners, and their families.
You can give us a call or send us an email.
