neurodiversity affirming support for high-masking and late-diagnosed autistic and adhd people

virtual therapy + diagnostic evaluations + consultation

with courtney hart, lcsw-c

Growing up without a way to understand or process your experiences often means feeling that you are both "too much" and never enough, wondering if you’ll ever find a space to truly belong.

A lifetime of masking can make it hard to trust yourself or ask for help.

But, you deserve to build a life that actually works for you.

Hi, I’m Courtney!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider blending personal experience and professional expertise to help autistic people and ADHDers find sustainable ways to navigate a neurotypical world.

Rather than focusing on fixing who you are, I offer support to understand your wiring, space to process your experiences, and collaboration to help you discover strategies and strengths that will support you long-term.

Let’s Work Together!

I offer neurodiversity-affirming services for late-diagnosed and high-masking Autistic folks and ADHDers, as well as caregivers and professionals seeking to better support their loved ones, clients, and employees. My approach blends professional expertise with lived experience wisdom, providing practical education, navigation strategies, space to process your experiences, and collaboration to help you build a life that genuinely works.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Evaluations for ADHD and Autism

For those interested in exploring a formal diagnosis for ADHD, Autism, or both, I provide evidence-based, neurodiversity-affirming diagnostic evaluations.

My approach centers your strengths, rather than focusing on deficits, to understand you as a whole person. Together, we'll explore your personal experiences and insights in a way that validates your journey and supports your self-understanding while evaluating formal diagnostic criteria.

Evaluations can support understanding, help rebuild your connection to self, provide language for advocacy, inform decisions about accommodations, and connect you to community resources, honoring your expertise about yourself throughout the process.

Evaluations are provided virtually to Marylanders 13 and up only.
Clients self-select rates using a three-point sliding scale. No insurance accepted.

Consultation for Motivated Parents and Professionals

I provide collaborative, personalized consultation that goes beyond conventional advice or traditional training, combining expertise with experience to help support ADHDers, PDAers, and Autistic people of all ages.

For parents, our work together will go deeper than traditional reward systems and behavior modification strategies that don't work. Instead, we’ll explore what's really contributing to challenging behaviors and how that impacts you as a parent. Then, we’ll work together to develop individualized strategies that meet your child's support needs while improving family communication and your confidence in navigating difficult moments.

For professionals, I provide specialized guidance to help you learn about non-stereotypical ADHD and Autism and neurodiversity-affirming approaches that meet your clients and employees where they are, supporting access needs and exploring tools to help them thrive.

Consultation is provided virtually, and is not location bound. Documentation for insurance reimbursement is unavailable for parent consultation.

Virtual Therapy for Marylanders ages 13 and up

I provide therapy that centers your experiences and authentic self rather than trying to fix or change you. Sessions are collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming with a focus on strengths, nervous system regulation, and individualized support to develop skills to help you learn to navigate a neurotypically-dominant world.

Individual therapy offers space to understand your neurodivergent wiring, manage overwhelm and burnout, and reconnect with what brings you joy. Family therapy focuses on building compassion and collaboration between family members, while groups provide connection with others who share similar experiences.

As of June 15, 2025, I have openings for individual and family sessions.

I'm also gathering interest for educational and support groups for late-diagnosed and high-masking Autistic girls/AFAB people ages 13-17 and Autistic young adults ages 18-24.

Therapy is provided virtually to Marylanders 13 and up only. Please see my 2025 Fee Schedule or group information for rates. No insurance accepted. Superbills provided.

Additional Creative and Educational Offerings

In addition to my clinical work, I offer resources and services on a variety of topics developed with ADHD and Autistic experiences in mind.

For individuals and businesses, I provide training on AI and creative tools including Gemini for Workspace, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva, and Squarespace, along with freelance writing and creative services.

I also offer executive function coaching for helping professionals and specialized yoga instruction, including a 95-hour Yoga Alliance approved children's yoga teacher training and a course on implementing mindfulness in schools in bite-size, engaging ways.

To support free education on important topics, I write "A Few Thousand Days," a Substack exploring the intersection of advancing technology and human experience, create content on my social media channels, and occasionally offer free digital and print resources.
