Affirming therapy for neurodivergent and otherwise uniquely wired teens, adults, parents, couples, and families of all kinds.

  • Navigating mixed-neurotype relationships, polycules, or other relationship challenges
  • Parenting neurodivergent children, parenting while neurodivergent, or supporting neurodivergent family members
  • LGBTQIA+, Polyamory, ACE & ARO, Kink
  • From historically marginalized communities
  • Seeking a fat-liberation and weight/size-inclusive approach to healing
  • High-achieving professionals, other therapists, helping professionals, educators, healthcare workers, and activists
  • Self-proclaimed nerds, geeks, gamers, creative/deep thinkers, introverts, and highly sensitive people

Joy is about embracing the tiny sparks that make life feel worth it — not being happy all the time! Your deep interests, your favorite snack, being in nature, jumping in to cool, soft sheets at the end of a long day or having a big, spontaneous snort-laugh. We help you notice, embody and celebrate the small, the big and all the joys in between.

Healing is about giving yourself space to untangle stress, honor your lived experiences, and build support systems — it isn’t about being “fixed” or never struggling again. Healing happens when you feel safe enough to grow in your own way, at your own pace, and in alignment with what is important to you.

Solidarity means we’re in this together! As humans, our struggles don’t exist in a vacuum. JHS social worker therapists practice from a liberatory framework. We believe  therapy should be rooted in political and social justice, not only clinical traditions.
