Work with a therapist who truly understands how your brain and body work.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Online Therapy for ADHD, Autistic, and Gifted Individuals (Ages 12+) across Colorado
Have you moved beyond “What’s wrong with me?”
and into “How do I build a life that actually fits my brain and body?”
​
Are you exploring your neurodivergent identity and want support from someone who truly understands how you’re wired?
​
Are you navigating ongoing executive functioning challenges or chronic health issues, and ready to work with your brain and body instead of constantly overriding them?
​
Are you craving integration, not just analysis?
​
Let’s build what’s next.
Hi there.
My name is Phoenix Rising, LCSW (Ze/Zir or She/Her)
I’m a late-identified ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, and Gifted therapist who understands firsthand how complex it can be to navigate trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic health challenges within traditional systems of care.
​
I specialize in working with late-identified neurodivergent adults and teens — particularly those living with chronic illness or nervous system dysregulation — who are ready for deeper integration.
​
Many of my clients have already done meaningful trauma work. They understand their patterns. What they’re seeking now is alignment: a way of living that supports their brain, body, energy, and identity.
​
Using a holistic, nervous-system-informed approach, I help clients refine their relationship with their body, restructure their lifestyle sustainably, and take grounded steps toward meaningful work and authentic community.
​
This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about building a life that actually fits.
​
I offer brief, short-term, and long-term therapy depending on your goals and stage of growth.
What is Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy?

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy recognizes that ADHD, Autistic, and Gifted brains are natural variations in human wiring.
​
Some neurodivergent people have been pathologized or misunderstood. Others have been praised for their strengths while their challenges were overlooked. In both cases, the full picture is often missed.
​
This approach seeks to understand how your brain and nervous system actually function. We explore both strengths and real-world challenges, including executive functioning, identity development, sleep, chronic health concerns, and the long-term impact of feeling different.
​
The focus is not on fixing you. It is on helping you live in alignment with who you are.
