In light of recent alarming statements and concerns raised by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) regarding potential threats to protected health information (PHI), we are taking additional proactive measures to safeguard the records of our neurodivergent clients. Read more here.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy for ADHD, Autism, and Trauma in Kentucky.
Therapy That Understands You - Not Just Your Symptoms
At Sound Mind Counseling, we specialize in neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed mental healthcare designed with the unique needs of ADHDers, autistics, and trauma survivors in mind.
You Don’t Have to Mask Here
The journey can be frustrating, confusing, and isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone anymore.
As a late-diagnosed AuDHDer (autism + ADHD), I blend clinical expertise with lived experience to create a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your neurodivergence. My approach is relational, collaborative, and strengths-based, rooted in your values…not generic advice or worksheets.
Together, we’ll:
Use your special interests as healing tools
Challenge internalized ableism
Address burnout and sensory overwhelm
Reconnect with your authentic self beyond the mask

Why Choose Sound Mind Counseling?
-
Therapy should honor the diversity of human minds. Whether you have ADHD, autism, or any other neurodivergence, our approach is centered around celebrating your brain, not trying to change it.
-
For many, if not all of us, the journey to self-acceptance involves healing from past trauma. With trauma-informed care, every session is designed to provide a safe, non-judgmental space.
-
I bring a range of specialized skills to support your healing:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This evidence-based therapy is highly effective for healing from trauma, whether it stems from childhood, religious conditioning, or other life stressors.

Neuroaffirming ADHD Assessments: I offer comprehensive assessments to help you understand your ADHD and develop strategies that support your strengths.
Neuroaffirming Autism Assessments: I offer specialized autism assessments, providing a clearer understanding of your neurodivergence and supporting your personal growth.
