You Deserve Support That Respects Who You Are
Autism therapy for adults isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about understanding yourself more fully and finding tools that fit. Many clients come in with a long history of feeling out of step with others, masking in social situations, struggling with executive function, or feeling overwhelmed by sensory input. Some have spent years trying to manage anxiety or depression without ever exploring how autism might be part of the picture.
Mary offers therapy that’s neurodiversity-affirming, practical, and grounded in compassion. Sessions focus on helping you better understand your needs, recognize your strengths, and reduce the pressure to perform or blend in. Whether you’re looking to build coping skills, deepen self-acceptance, or explore relationships from a neurodivergent lens, therapy can be a supportive and validating space.
What Can Therapy Help With?
Adult autism therapy can help with many concerns, including:
- Social exhaustion or masking fatigue
- Workplace stress or job burnout
- Difficulty with change, transitions, or sensory overload
- Relationship challenges or misunderstandings
- Emotional regulation struggles
- Identity exploration or post-diagnosis processing
- Co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD
Mary adjusts therapy for your communication style, comfort level, and goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, just a thoughtful, collaborative process that puts your experience at the center.
Understanding Late Diagnosis or Self-Discovery
Many adults discover they’re autistic later in life, sometimes after years of feeling different or misdiagnosed. That realization can bring relief, grief, confusion, or clarity all at once. Therapy can help you make sense of that journey and how masking, internalized pressure, or misunderstandings have shaped your mental health.
Mary works with Minnesota adults at any stage of self-discovery. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, exploring the idea, or simply looking for a therapist who understands neurodivergent experiences, you’re welcome here.
