Virtual Therapy Groups for Neurodivergent Adults
Maryland | Virginia | DC | DELAWARE | PSYPACT® states
Does it have to be so hard?
Neurodivergent adults are navigating a world build largely by, and for, neurotypical people.
On any given day, we are faced with dozens of messages that tell us: this space is not for you.
As these messages build up over time, we are left feeling
anxious, lonely and disconnected.
what’s different about groups at ptc?
Neurodivergent adults support each other in these affirming groups and work together to establish their goals and focus, with support from the facilitating therapist. Some topics might include supporting each other as they navigate the neurotypical world, understanding masking and ableism, exploring communication and relationships, managing emotional and sensory needs, exploring accommodations, and decoding neurotypical social norms.
Groups are formed based on therapeutic goals, gender identity, and stage of life. Our therapists facilitate conversation, and ensure the space remains affirming and welcoming, engaging based on the desires of the group. For example, therapists can support structure, create activities, guide conversation, and/or provide psychoeducation.
PTC’s groups will provide opportunities for adults who identify as Autistic / ADHD / AuDHDs /PDA/ Gifted/ anxious / depressed, etc. to:
