ADHD and autism are two types of neurodivergence, and we are very experienced with both! As the mom of two neurodivergent kids, Robin has many years of personal experience with autism and ADHD and is well acquainted with the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families. She draws on this experience to work with individuals, couples, and families who live with neurodivergence.

Being diagnosed with autism can mean wondering where you truly belong…where you “fit” in the world. Living with autism often leads to depression and anxiety, and these feelings often stem from challenges with social interactions and relationships. Adults with autism are also statistically more likely than their neurotypical peers to experience underemployment or to face substantial difficulties in maintaining stable employment. This can also contribute to depression and isolation, making it even more challenging to connect with others and find your place in the world. We help individuals with autism better understand themselves and their relationships, and develop effective coping skills to deal with social interactions.

ADHD makes it difficult to maintain focus and remember important information, and it can also lead to impulsivity in both adults and children. Due to these challenges, individuals with ADHD often encounter significant difficulties at work or in school, affecting their performance on tasks and their relationships with others. At Living Hope Counseling, we teach a variety of effective strategies to help manage ADHD symptoms, and we utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to address and navigate the unique challenges that arise from living with ADHD.
