Adaptive Behavior Therapy

Adaptive behavior therapy is designed to work with your unique brain to develop skills that improve your quality of life, and decrease the barriers standing in the way of your success.

Payment plans, multi-visit passes, and sliding scale available.
All services are Private-Pay. We do not accept health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare.

In-home, workplace, group, and community-based sessions are available in Albuquerque, NM and surrounding areas. Telehealth services are available nation-wide.

Through this kind of therapy, you will:

  • Learn skills without pressure to perform or mask
  • Process grief, anger, and shame, and rewrite your neurodivergence story
  • Practice communication and boundaries in a safe space
  • Reduce barriers to success
  • Build community and reduce social anxiety

This may be helpful if you are:

  • Late-diagnosed or self-identified autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD
  • A high-masking individual
  • Experiencing unworkable or unsafe behavioral patterns
  • Experience burnout related to your neurodivergence
  • Transitioning into a new phase of life
  • People who have “tried therapy” and felt misunderstood

Our Approach

  • Neurodiversity-affirming
  • Trauma-informed
  • Consent- and autonomy-based
  • Strengths-focused
  • Practical, real-world support in the setting it will be used
