Specialties Rooted in Lived Experience & Clinical Expertise
We specialize in supporting neurodiverse adults & teens who’ve felt unseen, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood; because we’ve been there too.
Our Clients Are Often….
Autistic or ADHD (or both!) and seeking clarity or support
Diagnosed late, or suspecting they’ve been missed entirely
LGBTQ+ and craving affirming, intersectional care
Lower Support Needs Presenting but exhausted inside
Dealing with co-occurring conditions like anxiety, OCD, or depression
Highly self-aware but unsure what support would actually help
Coping with masking, burnout, or emotional dysregulation
Tired of providers who "don’t quite get it"
ADHD
ADHD is more than distractibility, it often involves executive dysfunction, emotional intensity, sensory sensitivity, and difficulty with follow-through. For many adults, it can present as chronic overwhelm, inconsistent focus, or struggling to complete tasks despite being intelligent and motivated.
Our clients are often high-achieving individuals who’ve flown under the radar for years; masking symptoms, overcompensating, and wondering why everything still feels so hard. ADHD frequently coexists with autism, anxiety, and perfectionism, making diagnosis and treatment more complex.
At Quirkiatry, we take a comprehensive and affirming approach. Support may include medication management, CBT-informed strategies, neurodiversity coaching, and lifestyle interventions tailored to how your brain actually works.
Our goal is to help you develop sustainable systems and strategies so you can function more effectively and feel more like yourself.
Autism
Missed the diagnosis because you made eye contact or got good grades? You're not alone. Autism often hides behind masking, perfectionism, or “being the responsible one,” especially in women, queer folks, and high-achievers.
At Quirkiatry, we understand autism as a different way of being, not a disorder to be fixed.
Many of our clients experience sensory overload, social fatigue, special interest deep-dives, and a deep need for clarity and control. You might struggle with transitions, burnout, or feeling like you're "too much" and "not enough" at the same time.
Our support may include affirming assessments, identity-exploration therapy, sensory regulation tools, and concrete strategies for communication, executive function, and self-advocacy.
Our goal is to help you understand your brain and build a life that doesn’t require constant camouflage.
Navigating mental health as an LGBTQ+ person can be uniquely complex; especially if past providers have dismissed your identity, minimized your experience, or focused only on symptoms without context. At Quirkiatry, we center care around your whole self.
Whether you’re exploring identity, processing internalized stigma, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or burnout, we provide a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to educate your clinician just to be understood. Our approach combines professional psychiatric care with lived understanding of what it means to be queer, neurodivergent, and human.
Support might include talk therapy, identity-affirming coaching, or medication for mood or anxiety symptoms; all grounded in mutual respect, collaboration, and your goals.
You deserve care that celebrates who you are, not just treats how you feel.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
Rejection Sensitivity & Emotional Regulation
If a small piece of feedback sends you spiraling, or you feel emotions so intensely it’s hard to recover, you're not broken - your nervous system is just working overtime. Many of our clients experience rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), emotional dysregulation, or meltdowns that seem “too big” on the outside but make perfect sense inside.
Whether it’s rooted in ADHD, autism, trauma, or chronic invalidation, these emotional patterns aren’t just inconvenient, they’re exhausting. And often misunderstood.
At Quirkiatry, we offer strategies that go beyond “just breathe.” We’ll help you understand what’s happening in your brain and body, identify your emotional triggers, and build practical tools for regulation, without shame, suppression, or self-blame.
Support may include therapy (like DBT or mindfulness-based approaches), neurodiversity-informed coaching, and tools to strengthen self-compassion and resilience. You don’t need to be “less sensitive,” you need better support for the sensitivity you already have.
Not sure where you fit?
That’s okay. Our job is to help you figure that out. Whether you’re exploring your identity or just trying to get through the day, we’ll meet you with curiosity, not judgment.
