Autism & ADHD Therapy

Hi, I’m Essy Knopf, and I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals who often feel unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. If you’re someone who feels like you don’t quite fit into the conventional mold, you’re in the right place. Growing up as an autistic and ADHD individual navigating complex PTSD, I know firsthand the challenges of feeling isolated or marginalized. My personal journey inspired me to create a safe space where you can explore your authentic self without fear of judgment.

I connect most with clients who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves—whether they’re unpacking past traumas, navigating identity challenges, or wrestling with feelings of anxiety or depression. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ and/or neurodivergent individuals and couples who feel like they’ve had to silence parts of who they are to fit in. Together, we explore those silenced parts, uncovering ways to embrace your unique experiences and build a life that feels true to you.

Our work together will focus on understanding how your past influences your present, whether it’s family dynamics, societal expectations, or systemic pressures. Using tools like CBT, ACT, and EMDR, I’ll guide you in making connections between your experiences and emotions. My approach is straightforward yet warm, offering a balance of validation and actionable strategies to help you move forward.

Therapy with me feels like having someone in your corner who truly gets it—someone who listens, supports, and encourages you to show up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

If you’re ready to explore your story and start building a life that reflects who you truly are, I’d love to hear from you.
