Neurodivergent affirming mental health care for children, teens, and adults in Northern Virginia.
WELCOME
We help neurodivergent children, teens, and adults who are burnt out and tired of living in a world not built for them develop systems of support and create sustainable, joy-filled lives.
We know that being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world can feel overwhelming, isolating, and frustrating. Many traditional therapy models and support systems just don’t work for the way your brain and body operate. At Kaleidoscope we are constantly unlearning narratives of what traditionally works in therapy and relearning what actually helps clients. We strive to creatively work with each individual client to find tools and modalities that work for them, their brain, and their body. All of our therapists are trained in alternative modalities such as art and play therapy and we think outside the box when it comes to finding things that help our clients make progress and live life to the fullest. Our therapists aren’t blank slates and don’t have all the answers. We want our space and practice to feel accessible, transformative, and empowering.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call with a member of our team that best suits you needs. This free 20 minute consultation will allow us to get to know you better. We will then work with you to schedule an intake session.

We understand what it is like to be neurodivergent in a neurotypical world. We focus more on understanding how your brain and body are working and less on changing behaviors. We won’t just slap you with a few coping skills and call it a day. Our therapist spend time getting to know you and helping you change and heal at a deeper level.

Neurodivergent simply means that a person’s brain works differently than what is considered “typical.” A neurodiversity framework believes that diversity in human cognition and processing is normal and challenges the medical model that views some divergences and disabilities as disorders.
While we specialize in neurodivergent folks, we are open and welcoming to all people!
-
All members of our team have a different approach to therapy, however we all focus on providing affirming, collaborative therapeutic care. We value creativity, honesty, integrity, and autonomy in all of our work.
Ready to experience a different kind of therapy?
Step 1: Reach out
Reach out to schedule a free 20 minute consultation. During this time we will get to know you better, understand your therapy needs, and let you know what to expect in therapy. You can either schedule directly with a therapist using this link or if you aren’t sure who will be a good fit, you can use our contact form and matched with a member of our team.
Step 2: Get started
Schedule a time for an intake session. If you are scheduling for your child, your child’s therapist will ask you to be present for most if not all of this session. During this time, your therapist will dive into what is bringing you to therapy, what has worked or not worked in the past, and start to develop a road map for your work together.
Step 3: Start living the life you want
In therapy you will learn more about yourself, develop tools and strategies to feel more grounded, and work on setting boundaries that give you more energy. We look forward to supporting you in creating a joy filled life!

Inclusive
We welcome and celebrate people of all background, bodies, brains, and beliefs.
Creative
We think outside the box to support our clients and use creativity as a vehicle for self-exploration and change.
Holistic
We value, honor, and work with all parts and aspects of our clients.
Community
We look beyond just therapy to develop systems that increase client’s wellbeing and joy.
At Kaleidoscope, we practice from a neurodivergent affirming, trauma-informed, social justice lens. We value creativity and curiosity, autonomy, care and compassion, and integrity, and virtue. We believe that each person is the expert on themselves and we never ask a client to change who they are. We believe in disrupting the systems that exist that do not serve all people and that everyone deserves access to care.
