FAQs About Therapy, Neurodivergence & Relationships

Our session fees range from $150 to $500 per session depending on the therapist’s experience, credentials, and specialization. Sliding scale spots may occasionally be available. Reach out to learn more—we’re happy to guide you through the options.

We are an insurance-friendly, out-of-network provider. This means we don’t bill insurance directly, but we do provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

We encourage you to check with your insurance carrier prior to your first session to understand your out-of-network coverage.

A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes the therapist’s information, the date and type of service, diagnosis code, and session fee. It allows you to request out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider.

While we’re happy to provide superbills, reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual insurance plan.

All of our sessions are conducted online via secure video conferencing. This allows us to work with clients across California from the comfort and privacy of their own space. We are a fully virtual practice offering therapy that is flexible, accessible, and HIPAA-compliant.

Yes. Therapy services are available to California residents only due to licensing regulations.

IFTC is a team of dedicated, neurodiversity-affirming clinicians offering specialized support for ADHD, autism, AuDHD, twice-exceptionality (2e), giftedness, and more.

We are the parent organization of both Twice Exceptional Counseling and AuDHD Couples Counseling, and serve teens, adults, couples, and families with insight, care, and clinical expertise. Whether you're looking for therapy or coaching, we’re here to help you feel understood—and empowered.

Neurodiverse refers to a group of people that includes different types of minds (e.g., autistic, ADHD, and non-autistic individuals together). Neurodivergent describes an individual whose brain works differently from what’s considered “typical.” At IFTC, we affirm both terms as part of an inclusive and respectful approach to therapy.

Anyone whose brain processes the world in nontraditional ways may identify as neurodivergent. This can include people with ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, sensory processing differences, anxiety, OCD, and more. Some people have formal diagnoses, while others self-identify based on lived experience.

Not necessarily. Neurodivergence is about how your brain is wired—it’s not automatically a disorder. While some neurodivergent people also experience mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, neurodivergence itself (like ADHD or autism) is a difference, not a flaw. At IFTC, we see those differences as something to understand, support, and celebrate—not fix.

We specialize in neurodiversity-affirming therapy—which means we don’t try to make clients fit into a mold. We work with AuDHD couples, gifted and twice-exceptional teens, ADHD adults, and neurodivergent families using strategies that honor each person’s wiring. Therapy at IFTC includes tools for communication, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and nervous system support—so you can thrive as you are.

A twice-exceptional or 2e individual is someone who is both intellectually gifted and has one or more learning, attention, or developmental differences—such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia. These individuals often face the unique challenge of having their strengths overshadow their struggles, or vice versa. At IFTC, we understand how complex and misunderstood the 2e experience can be—and we offer therapeutic support tailored to both the brilliance and the needs of 2e clients.

Many AuDHD couples get stuck in repeating conflict patterns that are rooted in neurological differences—not personality flaws. These loops often involve missed cues, sensory overload, or executive function breakdowns (like forgetting a plan or running late). Therapy helps decode these cycles and replace them with clarity, regulation, and repair strategies that actually work for neurodivergent minds.

Absolutely. In fact, many of our clients are in neurodivergent-neurodivergent partnerships. That could mean both partners have ADHD, or one is autistic and the other is AuDHD. While this can create shared understanding, it can also double the need for clear communication, co-regulation, and support systems that honor each partner’s unique wiring.

Most traditional therapy models aren’t designed for sensory sensitivity, attention differences, or processing delays. At IFTC, we use a neurodiversity-affirming approach that’s trauma-informed, strengths-based, and adapted for real-life executive functioning challenges.

Many neurodivergent individuals have had negative experiences with therapy in the past—or have been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or misunderstood. At IFTC, we move at your pace. We offer space to explore resistance, past harm, and fear of being blamed—while introducing tools that actually feel helpful and respectful. Our goal isn’t to “fix” anyone. It’s to build understanding, safety, and sustainable change—together.
