AUTISM

You Deserve a Space That Honors How You Think, Feel, and Experience the World.
Therapy that supports autistic adults and teens (12+) through creativity, sensory awareness, and strengths-based strategies.
The world often feels built for neurotypical minds, leaving you exhausted from masking, misunderstood in social settings, or overwhelmed by constant sensory input. Whether you struggle with emotional regulation, executive functioning, or finding a space where you truly belong, you’re not alone.
At Kindred Art Therapy, we offer a neurodivergent-affirming approach that recognizes autism not as a disorder to fix but as a unique way of experiencing the world. Using art therapy, sensory-informed techniques, and tailored support, we help autistic teens and adults build self-understanding, emotional resilience, and practical coping strategies—without forcing you to change who you are.
Who We Help:
We work with autistic individuals (ages 12+) navigating:
✔ Sensory overload and burnout
✔ Emotional regulation challenges (meltdowns, shutdowns, or difficulty identifying emotions)
✔ Anxiety and social overwhelm
✔ Executive functioning struggles (task initiation, transitions, time management)
✔ Rejection Sensitivity and masking fatigue
✔ Feeling misunderstood or pressured to “fit in”
✔ Navigating relationships, identity, and self-acceptance
