A New Way of Therapy

Old therapeutic models are not particularly helpful to the Neurodivergent Community. Many clients have been retraumatized because of exposure to models of therapy that do not mesh with the neurodivergent mind. At Divergent Mental Health Counseling we use an integrative model of therapy with a narrative approach that places the client as an authority in the room.

Neurodivergent clients need therapists who get it, who understand the unique issues neurodivergent folks face on the daily. DMHC, we are devoted to meeting you where you are at. This is why we offer unique options.



Here is a bit of what you can expect:

  • Trauma Informed Therapists

  • Therapists that are also Neurodivergent

  • Sessions that are human focused not diagnosis focused

  • “Session Ease” : Session Ease is a promise each clinician at DMHC makes to establish a safe environment for unmasking in session. This looks like allowing the client to move freely, stim freely and talk freely. At DMHC, you don’t have to apologize for your neurodivergence. You can interrupt (or as we say at DMHC “topic jump”), you are not expected to make eye contact with the therapist, you can bring comfort items like a blanket or comfy clothes like a hoodie and PJs to session. These are just a few examples of the Session Ease Promise. Each clinician reviews this at the beginning of session and the clinician and client both establish the unique perimeters inside of the session together.

  • Flexible options for sessions: you can always chose between in-person, virtual or phone sessions and you can create hybrid options (one week in person, the next phone etc).


    Fees:

    Sessions range from $150-200 for individual sessions. Family and Couples Counseling at $250.
    You can pay by cash/credit card/autopay. Payment is due at the end of your session.

    Insurance:

    At DMHC we can utilize your insurance by using Out of Network coverage. We provide superbills which are
    a detailed receipt you send them to see if they’ll cover part of the cost. Typically insurance will reimburse 50%-80% of the session cost.
    We encourage our client to use their HSA or FSA card for sessions.

    For Example:
    If you have a session that is $200. You will submit the payment to DMHC and we will give you a superbill and you will submit the superbill
    (typically digitally) on your insurance portal and your insurance, if reimburses you 80% of the fee, will send you $160 back to you.

    Cancellations:

    If you need to cancel or reschedule, just let us know at least 24 hours ahead we will do our best to reschedule you in a timely manner.
    If it’s less than 24 hours, the full session fee will be charged.
