Ananda Leininger, LMHC
Psychotherapist
(she/they)
My clients are neurodivergent adults and teens who are overwhelmed with trying to get through their days in a world that doesn’t acknowledge their needs. Despite being intelligent, thoughtful, and compassionate, they are struggling with shame and self-esteem about not meeting the expectations that seem easy for other people.
They want to build a life that reflects their individual needs and values. They would like to find ways to have more energy, and to focus on what is important to them. Some of my clients may have a sense that they are neurodivergent but are not clear on how, some may have a diagnosis, some are self-diagnosed.
Like my clients, you deserve to live a life that is meaningful to you, and has space for your true needs. You can find more energy, more joy, and more confidence in living as your authentic neurodivergent self.
As a neurodivergent (Autism and ADHD) person myself, I was not diagnosed until I was an adult, and it was so helpful for understanding my experiences, and embracing my own needs. In spite of increasing information, there is a lot of misunderstanding about neurodivergence, and I want others to experience that understanding for themselves. I enjoy working with trans, queer, non-binary people, and supporting them in living as their full authentic selves.

“If he had been free to choose, he would have chosen to be no one else. Because now he knew that there were thousands and thousands of forms of joy in the world, but that all were essentially the same, namely, the joy of being able to love.”
