Embracing Unique Minds Through Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy in Glen Allen, VA
Neurodivergence—whether ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, or another neurological condition—isn’t a deficit or disorder but a different way of thinking, learning, and experiencing life. It’s part of the normal spectrum of human diversity! However, these individuals are left on their own to navigate a world designed for neurotypical minds, which often leads to frustration, isolation, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and burnout.
Infinite Abilities Counseling is here to help you thrive, not just cope. From our office in Glen Allen, Virginia, we serve children, teens, adults, and families navigating a range of life challenges. Our trauma-informed therapists strive to provide unconditional support through neurodiversity affirming therapy for whoever places their trust in us.
Why Affirming Mental Health Matters
In a line of work that’s all about the brain, recognizing neurodivergence is crucial. A neurodiversity-affirming approach avoids trying to “fix” clients and instead helps them thrive by teaching techniques and skills that complement their way of thinking. This might involve building self-advocacy, learning coping strategies for sensory overwhelm or executive dysfunction, and validating lived experiences of marginalization.

- Anxiety & chronic stress
