Support for Neurodivergent Adults in Tucson, AZ and Virtually Throughout Arizona
At Tucson Outpatient Psychiatry, we recognize that neurodivergent adults often navigate a world that wasn’t designed with them in mind. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, or are exploring your neurodivergent identity for the first time, we offer a space where you’re not just accommodated—you’re understood.
Our support for neurodivergent adults focuses on helping you build confidence, improve daily function, and feel more at ease in your environment, while honoring your strengths and preferences.
What Is Support for Neurodivergent Adults?
Support for neurodivergent adults includes therapy and psychiatric care tailored to your unique way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world. Rather than focusing on “fixing” or masking differences, we help you:
- Identify tools and strategies that support executive function, communication, and daily routines
- Explore your neurodivergent identity in a safe, validating space
- Reduce overwhelm, burnout, or emotional dysregulation
- Understand and manage co-occurring symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sensory sensitivities
- Navigate relationships, work, and life transitions in a way that works for you
We offer support that is affirming, non-pathologizing, and adapted to your goals—not generic expectations.
Who Can Benefit from This Care?
You may benefit from our neurodivergent adult services if you:
- Are diagnosed with ADHD, autism, or a learning difference—or suspect you might be
- Have struggled with traditional mental health care or felt misunderstood by past providers
- Find daily life draining, disorganized, or difficult to manage
- Feel socially isolated, masked, or emotionally exhausted
- Want to better understand your brain and develop strategies that actually work for you
Many clients come to us after years of feeling misdiagnosed, over-medicated, or unseen. We’re here to offer something different: support that fits who you are.
What to Expect in Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
Our approach is collaborative and adapted to your communication style, pace, and needs. Services may include:
- Talk therapy that focuses on real-life challenges and emotional insight
- Behavioral tools for executive functioning, organization, or energy management
- Emotional support for burnout, masking fatigue, or past invalidation
- Medication evaluation and management, when appropriate
- Identity-affirming care that encourages self-understanding and self-compassion
We celebrate neurodivergent minds and offer care that helps you thrive without changing who you are.

Chandan Nayak, MD
Neurodivergent is a term that describes people whose brains work differently than what’s considered “typical.” This includes individuals with ADHD, autism, learning differences, sensory processing differences, and more. Our support for neurodivergent adults is designed to respect and affirm those differences.

We understand that many neurodivergent adults have felt invalidated, pathologized, or pressured to “fit in” in past therapy experiences. Our approach is different—it's identity-affirming, respectful, and focused on what works best for you, not on changing who you are.
