If You're Here...
You’ve probably been carrying more than anyone realizes.
Maybe you’ve spent years working harder than everyone else just to keep up — to blend in, to pass as “fine.” Studying other people, learning to copy what seemed to work, building a version of yourself the world would accept. On the outside, you might even appear successful. But inside, you’re exhausted from holding it all together, worn down by the constant pressure to never let anything slip.
You’ve pushed through burnout so many times it feels normal. Held yourself to impossible standards because perfection felt like the only way to make up for always feeling different. And still, no matter how hard you tried, it never felt like enough. Life seemed harder for you than everyone else, leaving you questioning yourself — feeling wrong, out of place, and deeply misunderstood.
The truth is, none of that has ever been your fault.
You’ve been trying to survive in a world that wasn’t built for your brain. That mismatch isn’t a personal failing — it’s the invisible weight you’ve been carrying all along.
The Missing Piece: Understanding Your Neurodivergent Story
Maybe you’ve recently discovered — or started wondering — that you might be autistic, ADHD, or both. Suddenly, so much of your story begins to make sense. The burnout. The overwhelm. The perfectionism. The need to retreat after socializing. The constant pressure to “do better” or “try harder.”
None of these were signs of weakness. They were natural responses to navigating a world that wasn’t designed for your nervous system.
That realization can feel like finally exhaling after years of holding your breath. There’s relief in naming it — and also grief. Grief for the times you believed you were broken. Grief for the mask you wore so long you lost sight of who you were underneath. Grief for the versions of you that never had space to exist.
This is where understanding becomes transformative — not as a label, but as a lens.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy
A space where you don’t have to explain, defend, or prove your struggles.
Therapy doesn’t have to be another place where you mask or translate yourself into someone else’s language to be taken seriously.
Here:
Your differences aren’t flaws — they’re truths worth honoring.
Your struggles aren’t failures — they’re evidence of how hard you’ve been working to survive.
Together, we make sense of both the relief and grief that come with understanding yourself differently. We revisit your history through a kinder, more accurate lens. We soften the shame that grew from misunderstanding. And we develop strategies that work with your neurodivergent brain — not against it.
This work is slow enough to be honest, structured enough to be grounding, and flexible enough to honor your nervous system.
My Approach
I’m Christine Harris, LPCC — a late-diagnosed AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) licensed clinical therapist.
I understand the exhaustion of burnout, the grip of perfectionism, and the quiet grief of feeling misunderstood. I also know the deep relief that comes with finally being seen clearly.
I built this practice to be the kind of space I always needed: neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and evidence-based. A place where you can bring your whole self — without pressure to perform, explain, or improve — and know, without question, that you’re enough.
My work centers on helping people make sense of their experiences without pathologizing who they are, supporting them as they recontextualize their lives with accuracy, compassion, and self-trust.
An Invitation to Begin
If you’re ready to set down the mask, loosen perfectionism’s grip, release long-held shame, and move beyond burnout, you don’t have to do it alone.
Whether you’re seeking therapy to integrate new understanding or support as you build a life that fits who you are, this is a space where every part of you is welcome.
Relief is possible. Understanding is within reach. And from that understanding, a life that finally feels sustainable can begin.
