Attuned Therapy was born out of my own frustrations throughout my life, personally and professionally, of feeling not only misunderstood, but misattuned to by a variety of people, places and things.

Have you ever felt like therapists, peers, colleagues, or loved ones struggled to provide useful insights to your problems? Have you ever felt like you were the go-to “ideas and support person” for everyone else in your life, but that they couldn’t offer the same level of attuned support back to you? Have you ever felt consistently frustrated with other people and systems for the inefficient ways they seem to work, but felt alone in your awareness? If any of this resonates with you, you may have a form of neurodivergence that has gifted you with higher perceptivity.

Higher perceptivity may sound like a good thing, but is it so great to see more, when everyone else around you sees less? Individuals like this can suffer from a pervasive agitation with others, the world, and even themselves. It can feel like nothing or no one can ever see what’s really going on or get it right, whether it is a team project at work, or a romantic partner who claims to be trying their best. Neurodivergence of many forms can leave an individual feeling emotionally dysregulated, lonely, depressed, or even suicidal as they struggle to conform and fight an internal battle to be authentic or to suppress their talents.
