Neurodiversity-affirming
independent specialists
Mind, body, and daily-life support for adults with ADHD, high sensitivity or dyslexia:
​Every specialist in our directory has been individually selected by the ThriveCollective founders. They work with a neurodiversity-affirming approach, which means they don't treat your wiring as a problem to fix. Instead, they help you build systems, strategies and body-based skills that actually fit the way you think, feel and move through the world.

Not sure which type of support is right for you?
We've made it easier to narrow down - three categories, three different routes.
Same destination: a stronger connection to yourself, better understanding of your unique nervous system, less friction in how you function day to day.
​
So the question is: which entry point feels right for you?
Psychological support specialists
Prefer talking, reflecting, planning, or working with your (sub)conscious mind?
Psychological support specialists help you work through emotional challenges and recurring patterns at your pace, so you can feel safer, calmer, and more in control every day.
Somatic support specialists
Would you rather move, learn body-based techniques and process emotions physically?
Somatic specialists use approaches like gentle movement, breathwork, and awareness exercises - to help release tension, process trauma, and support emotional wellbeing.
Daily-life support specialists
Do you need practical, hands-on change in your environment and daily routines?
​
Daily-life support specialists take a neurodiversity-informed approach to bridging how your body, environment and routines interact - from nutrition to sleep, organization and more.
​Each specialist has a full profile with their specialty, approach, background and other clients' testimonials.
​
This is your chance to go beyond the way of working, into deeper preferences.
​
Take your time - this is about finding your right fit, not the fastest match.
Nearly every specialist offers a free introductory consultation.
You can book it directly from their profile page - no waitlists through us.
The intro call is your chance to connect with the specialist, ask questions, and see if the fit feels right before committing.​ After the intro call, you can manage future sessions with your specialist directly.
Want a little extra help deciding which specialist is the right fit for you?

When different needs overlap, it can be difficult to know where to start or which approach might help. Tell us a little about your situation and what you're looking for, and we'll help you explore your options and recommend a practical next step.

Who neuro-affirming therapy is for:
Finding the right support shouldn't feel like another task on an already overloaded system.
You are in the right place if:
​
*You've tried therapy before, but the therapist didn't get why you can't "just use a planner" - or why you never did the homework.
​
*You've read every ADHD book, but the strategies you've tried didn't last for more than a few days.
​
*You know you're sensitive, but no one has ever worked with that instead of around it.
​
*You've felt the need to try an(other) approach next to what you've already been doing - but didn't know where to find that in one place, and got overwhelmed looking.​
*You're exhausted - and you're not sure if it's burnout, depletion, or just life being too much for too long.​
​
Sound familiar? This is precisely why we've built this roster of specialists, who specialists work with neurodivergent adults and understand how your neurotype interacts with their modality. Many of them are neurodivergent themselves.
​
Best part is - you don't have to choose just one! Many neurodivergent adults work with more than one specialist, either at the same time or one after the other. We help facilitate that, in a safe, privacy-first environment.
