Finding a therapist can be a challenging task, here are some directories where you can find clinicians who are affirming and supportive of neurodivergent individuals.
✦ Neurodivergent Insights Directory: A directory of therapists, coaches, and occupational therapists who are members of the Neurodivergent Insights Learning Nook. These professionals are committed to neurodivergent-affirming practices, and many are neurodivergent themselves.
✦ ND Therapists is a Neurodivergent Directory of openly neurodivergent therapists (newer, but grows weekly!)
✦ Association of Neurodivergent Therapists (a UK directory!) An organization created by neurodivergent therapists advocating for neurodivergent rights. They are anti-ableist and anti-racist and support gender and sexual diversity. You can find their directory here.
✦ Inclusive Therapists is a Directory of justice-oriented therapists. You can filter by specialties, insurance, and whether or not they provide a sliding scale. Click here for autism.
✦ Therapy Den is a directory of progressive therapists. You can use our search tools to find therapists who specifically identify as “neurodiversity-affirming.” You can also filter your search by other specialties and accepted insurance.
✦ Directory of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Affirming Providers
✦ Neurodivergent Practitioners: A directory of neurodivergent coaches and practitioners.
✦ Queer Healers: This directory offers a diverse range of healers, from herbalists and astrologers to cranial-sacral therapists, psychotherapists, massage therapists, and doulas. While not explicitly focused on neurodivergence, this resource is valuable due to the overlap in communities, providing helpful support for many.
✦ ND Couples Therapists This list of therapists includes clinicians who have completed the Neurodiverse Partner Institute’s training.
