Therapy for high-masking minds carrying invisible overwhelm

Specializing in high-masking autism, ADHD, PTSD, and misdiagnosis

A neuro-affirming therapy center based in Oakland & Sacramento, CA

Start with sleep. Always.

If your nervous system isn’t regulated, nothing else sticks. This free sensory audit helps you identify what’s overstimulating your system at night so you can finally get real rest.

You might be here if

  • You’re constantly “on,” but crash when you’re alone

  • You overthink everything and still feel behind

  • You’ve been told you’re anxious, but it feels deeper than that

  • You’re high-achieving and quietly burned out

  • You feel overstimulated, shut down, or emotionally flooded

  • You’ve been through things your body hasn’t let go of

This is the overwhelm that never quits.

We work with your nervous system, not against it.

We help you understand why you feel the way you do, and how to actually shift it.

We specialize in working with:

High-masking autism, ADHD, & OCD

Trauma and PTSD, including CPTSD

Anxiety that hasn’t responded to traditional therapy

Our approach combines:

Somatic therapy (body-based healing)

Modified evidence-based modalities for neurodivergent minds

EMDR and trauma processing

Relational and depth-oriented therapy

We don’t force change. We create safety.

We offer therapy & coaching for individuals 12+, and couples, with a focus on neurodivergence, trauma, and the patterns that often get misunderstood or misdiagnosed. People often come to us when they’re experiencing:

  • Intrusive thoughts or mental loops that won’t turn off

  • Feeling stuck in patterns you logically understand but can’t shift

  • Overwhelm, shutdown, or burnout

  • Trauma responses that show up in your body or relationships

  • Constant self-monitoring, overthinking, or masking

  • Therapy that didn’t fully help in the past

Most of our clients have tried to “figure it out” on their own for a long time.
