Therapy for late diagnosed neurodivergent adults in Oregon, helping you move from constant overwhelm to feeling seen, steady, and able to be yourself
Helping late diagnosed neurodivergent adults find relief without forcing you into standard talk therapy, even if therapy has felt performative or pointless before
Does any of this sound familiar?
You finally figured out you are autistic or ADHD or both and now you are trying to make sense of a lifetime of missed signals.
You spend all day masking and by the time you get home there is nothing left for you.
Talk therapy has left you exhausted like you were performing instead of being helped.
You feel overwhelmed by sensory stuff and small tasks and nothing you have tried has made a dent.
Signs you might be experiencing burnout or feeling stuck
Imagine something different
Imagine moving through a day with less burnout and more self trust. Imagine small tools you can use right away to calm overwhelm and express what words alone do not reach.
Hi, I'm Lisa Headings.
I help late diagnosed neurodivergent adults in Oregon find lasting relief and self empowerment through expressive arts therapy and practical sensory tools. I do not expect art skills. I do expect honesty and curiosity. I guide people to notice what really helps and build habits that last.
What if your future looked different?
What if instead of ending the day exhausted and empty you had tools that helped you decompress, process, and show up for yourself? What if you could go from surviving to having moments of calm and real choice in your day?
If therapy hasn’t worked before
If you have been in therapy before and it did not help, that is understandable. Often standard talk therapy misses embodied sensory needs and the work of unmasking. My approach centers the body, creativity, and practical skills so you get relief without added pressure.
Why this might be different:
We use guided practices that blend talking with simple creative and sensory work, so you leave each session with something you can actually use, not long lectures
You get at least one usable tool each week
Kind words from colleagues

Jenny C - fellow therapist
“I have had the honor to work with her as a colleague and have personally felt supported, heard, and affirmed in my own tender creative exploration.”
What this can look like for you
If you are ready to move from overwhelm and masking to steady coping and being yourself, I am here to help. Expressive arts therapy plus sensory focused tools can create practical, lasting change.
