Some minds follow straight lines. Others make art.
Counseling that honors the way your mind works, not the way the world expects it to.
A Different Way to Heal
Healing is not about becoming someone different. Often, it begins with understanding yourself more clearly, including the ways your experiences, relationships, environment, and nervous system have shaped how you move through the world.
At Neurodivergent & Co. Counseling, I provide trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming outpatient therapy for adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, recovery, identity exploration, relationship stress, and life transitions.
While neurodivergent care is a core part of my work, therapy here is not limited to any one diagnosis or label. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel sustainable.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and paced for long-term change. Together, we work to better understand the patterns contributing to distress while building tools that support daily life, relationships, emotional regulation, and self-trust. There is no expectation to move faster than feels safe or to fit yourself into a one-size-fits-all model of healing.
Therapy here is grounded in curiosity, respect, and collaboration. This is not a space focused on “fixing” who you are, but on understanding what has shaped you and finding ways to move through life with greater clarity, stability, and self-compassion.
Many people come to therapy carrying shame about struggling with things they feel “should” be easier. Often, those struggles make more sense when we look at the larger contexts surrounding them, including stress, trauma, relationships, identity, chronic overwhelm, burnout, and systems that may not have supported their needs.
There is room here to talk openly about neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ experiences, identity, disability, chronic illness, recovery, and the ways larger systems impact emotional wellbeing and daily functioning. These conversations are approached with care, without assumptions or pressure to explain or justify your experience.
Therapy is ultimately about building greater self-understanding, flexibility, and agency in a way that feels sustainable and aligned with your actual life.
A Space to Be Understood
Questions? You're in the Right Place.
Whether you're wondering how therapy works or what your first appointment will be like, you'll find answers to some common questions below.
-
The term neurodivergent is used here as an umbrella term to describe differences in neurotype or how brains are wired to process, regulate, and interact with the world. This can include, but is not limited to, ADHD, autism, learning differences, and related presentations.
Neurodivergence is not a diagnosis and is not a term used in the DSM. It is a framework for understanding neurological difference rather than pathology or deficit. The term is used to support shared language, reduce stigma, and shift focus away from “what’s wrong” and toward how different brains function within different systems and environments.
-
I chose the name Neurodivergent & Co. to reflect both the complexity and the overlap that often come with neurodivergence. Many neurodivergent people are also navigating additional experiences such as chronic pain, trauma, sensory differences, or other co-occurring mental health concerns. The “& Co.” acknowledges that neurodivergence rarely exists in isolation.
The name also reflects my hope to build a sense of community and shared understanding, not only for neurodivergent folks, but for people navigating layered identities, stressors, and experiences. While therapy here is individualized, the practice is grounded in inclusivity, connection, and care that recognizes the whole person rather than a single label.

Telehealth sessions take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and function much like in-person sessions. Sessions are scheduled in advance, and you’ll join from a private, comfortable space using a computer, tablet, or phone with a stable internet connection.
Many clients find telehealth offers more flexibility and ease, especially when managing schedules, energy levels, or sensory needs. I recommend choosing a quiet, confidential space where you feel comfortable speaking openly, and we can adjust pacing and structure as needed to support your comfort and focus.
-
A superbill is a detailed receipt for therapy services that includes the information an insurance company may require for out-of-network reimbursement. If you have out-of-network benefits, you can submit a superbill to your insurance provider to see whether a portion of your session fees may be reimbursed.
Reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan, not by the therapist. I’m happy to provide a superbill upon request, and I encourage clients to contact their insurance provider directly to ask about out-of-network mental health benefits and reimbursement options.
-
I can’t speak for all therapists. In my own practice, insurance-based care can come with structural limitations, such as requirements around documentation, session structure, and how treatment goals are defined. Working partially outside of insurance allows for more flexibility in pacing and in tailoring care to individual needs. Regardless of payment model, the focus remains on providing ethical, thoughtful support.
-
Of course! I work with people across a wide range of experiences, identities, and backgrounds. While this practice uses a neurodivergent-affirming framework, that approach is about honoring individual differences, not about deciding who “belongs” or who fits a certain label.
Many people find it helpful to work in a space that is paced, collaborative, trauma-informed, and attentive to how stress, emotions, and nervous system patterns show up in daily life, whether or not they identify as neurodivergent. You don’t need a specific label or diagnosis to be here. Therapy is centered on you, your goals, and what support looks like for your individual needs.
Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Danielle, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and the owner of Neurodivergent & Co. Counseling, LLC.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, recovery, life transitions, relationship stress, and neurodivergent experiences including ADHD and autism. I also work with clients exploring long-standing emotional patterns, identity questions, and substance use or recovery as part of their overall mental health.
I’ve worked in mental health and addiction treatment for over 10 years across residential treatment, outpatient care, intensive outpatient programs, PHP, and correctional settings. That background continues to shape how I approach therapy, especially with clients who have complex histories, have felt misunderstood in previous treatment experiences, or are simply exhausted from trying to “push through.”
My style in therapy is collaborative, engaged, and practical. I will challenge patterns when appropriate, but I also care deeply about pacing, capacity, and building therapy around how people actually function in real life rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
