Working with neurodivergent adolescents invites us to stretch beyond traditional therapeutic frameworks and engage with difference—not as disorder, but as variation. In a world that often misunderstands or pathologizes neurodivergent ways of thinking, feeling, and relating, therapy can become a vital space of affirmation, curiosity, and support.

For many teens, navigating issues like identity formation, emotion regulation, and external pressures can feel overwhelming. Strength-based approaches in therapy offer a powerful framework to support adolescents by focusing on their inherent strengths, fostering resilience, and empowering them to face life’s challenges with confidence.
