Therapy for Queer Neurodivergent People Pleasers in Georgia
Where people living at the intersection of queerness and neurodivergence learn to swap burnout for boundaries without guilt and trade self-doubt for unapologetic self-love.
Hey, Queer Neurodivergent babe!
If you’ve found yourself here, it probably means…
You’ve spent years assuming you were broken because you’ve never had the language for the very real symptoms you’re experiencing. For example, difficulty estimating how long something will take (time imperception) or losing hours to reflecting on an interaction to make sure you’re not a bad person (scrupulosity).
You wonder, “Do other people struggle with this, or is it just me?”
You overthink social cues constantly, unsure what people want you to say or do, while everyone else seems to just know.
Asking for help feels impossible, especially from authority figures, because fear and self-doubt have been running the show.
Therapy in the past felt like explaining Queerness 101, impeding on your ability to make progress.
It also means you’re ready to take the first steps towards…
Discovering you’re not broken, you’re human, and your experiences have names, explanations, and solutions.
Realizing you’re not alone. Countless people have struggled with the very same things, and most of them lead fulfilling lives.
Feeling worthy of taking up space and receiving help, even in spaces that used to feel intimidating.
An affirming therapeutic space where you are truly held and encouraged to be your full self by someone who has walked a similar path (I see you, aro/ace spectrum babes).
Integrating all parts of yourself, even the shadowy parts, into a new story where you are the main character, moving through life with confidence, clarity, and authentic self-expression.
About Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Sierra (she/her). I help queer, neurodivergent babes caught in the pattern of people pleasing swap burnout for boundaries and self-doubt for self-love! As a lesbian woman with ADHD, raised in the Bible Belt, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re “too much” and “not enough” all at once.
In my youth, I was the one holding space for everyone else. I navigated the world with a heart that was often deemed “too sensitive.” I became a chronic rescuer, fearful people would leave me if they didn’t need me. I poured myself into caretaking, not realizing how much I was abandoning myself in the process.
Now, after diligent work with my shadow parts, I have relationships that can hold space for both my loved ones and myself. I now give myself permission to “be done” with spaces that no longer serve me rather than lingering for fear of change or hurt feelings.
Therapy isn’t a quick fix, because nothing is actually broken. It is a continuous homecoming.
Whether you’re navigating neurodivergence, queerness, debilitating overthinking, or the burnout of trying in vain to be everything to everyone, I’m here to support you.
Together, we’ll untangle the internalized “shoulds,” reconnect you with your own internal compass, and build something softer, freer, and more sustainable.
This is your invitation to come as you are, messy parts and all.
What if therapy could be fun, full of media references and metaphors us fantasy/sci-fi nerds love to use?
So what does this mean?
It means therapy can be playful and pull from current or nostalgic media/content that resonates with you so it lands deeper in your body for more transformation. I have 5 years of experience supporting the neurodivergent girls, gays, and theys through ditching self-abandonment with my integrative, evidence-based approach.
For example: we’ll utilize lessons from your favorite movies, video games, books, etc. Want to trust yourself the way Toph Beifong trusts herself? Or maintain boundaries like Gandalf against a Balrog?
Maybe you simply want to greet the world with open arms (RIP Polites, you would have loved Positive Psychology). My clients gain the confidence to do all of the above and have fun getting there.
Maybe you’ve already tried working with a therapist, and it felt like working with a sentient sounding board.
That’s not how we do things here.
We’ll challenge your inner bully, map the experiences that give it steam, and start your hero’s journey. You’ll learn somatic soothing and practical skills so you can actually do the things that matter to you without second guessing or self-judgment.
And we’ll do this using powerful metaphors so it truly lands in your body. Research featured in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience has shown that metaphorical language activates emotion and memory centers more than literal words, making abstract feelings (like anger, self-doubt, or grief) tangible and easier to work with.
By mapping your challenges onto a story, image, or media reference you won’t just hope change is possible, you’ll know change is possible.
This is for the folks who are done wistfully imagining being different “someday” and want to answer the call to adventure so they can feel different this month.
“After working with Sierra, I no longer view myself as a problem that needs fixing. I understand now that healing and personal growth is not linear and I have been building confidence in myself with Sierra’s guidance and encouragement. I’ve always felt very comfortable being myself and speaking my truth in our space. I am also very thankful that I was able to find a therapist that is a part of the LGBTQ+ community and able to connect with me on that level.”
