Therapy for Neurodiversity in Phoenix That Honors Unique Minds
Supporting neurodiverse individuals with understanding, creativity, and connection
When the World Doesn’t Always Understand
For many neurodiverse individuals, life feels like navigating a world that wasn’t built with them in mind. Maybe focus feels like a constant challenge, sensory experiences feel overwhelming, or social connections don’t come easily. Or perhaps you’ve always felt “different” in how you think, process, or communicate—and too often, those differences have been misunderstood.
According to the CDC, 1 in 36 children are identified with autism spectrum disorder, and about 1 in 5 people live with ADHD, dyslexia, or other forms of neurodivergence. At Creative Continuum, we don’t see neurodiversity as something to “fix.” We see it as a different, valuable way of being—and therapy can help create the support and confidence you deserve.
Why People Choose Therapy for Neurodiversity
Therapy for neurodiverse individuals isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about celebrating your strengths and giving you tools for the challenges you face.
For many, traditional talk therapy alone can feel limiting or overwhelming. That’s why we integrate creative approaches like art therapy, storytelling, or hands-on activities that make expression easier and more natural. These methods often open doors to self-understanding and growth in ways words alone cannot.
Creative expression allows neurodiverse people to communicate and connect in ways words alone can’t always capture.
Maybe you’ve thought: “If I just try harder, things will get easier” or “Everyone else seems to manage this—why can’t I?” But the truth is, neurodiversity isn’t about willpower. With the right support, those differences can become powerful assets.
Even if you’re unsure whether therapy is “necessary,” these are common reasons people seek therapy for neurodiversity at Creative Continuum:
Difficulty with focus, organization, or transitions
Sensory sensitivities or emotional overwhelm
Challenges with communication or social skills
Feelings of isolation, rejection, or being misunderstood
Low self-esteem or struggles with self-acceptance
Wanting to thrive while honoring unique ways of thinking
You Don’t Have to Keep Struggling Alone
Our Approach: Inclusive, Creative, and Strengths-Based
At Creative Continuum, we believe therapy for neurodiversity should be flexible, inclusive, and empowering. We combine evidence-based practices with creative modalities, meeting each individual in ways that feel safe, accessible, and affirming.
Whether it’s processing emotions through art, developing coping strategies, or strengthening communication with family and peers, we tailor therapy to support your unique mind and needs.
For neurodiverse individuals, creative expression becomes a bridge to:
Explore emotions in a safe, non-judgmental space
Build coping skills for sensory or emotional challenges
Develop confidence, self-acceptance, and resilience
Strengthen relationships through healthier communication
Celebrate identity and unique ways of thinking
Insurance and Payment Information
Creative Continuum is a private-pay practice, which means we don’t bill insurance directly. Payment is due at the time of your session so we can keep your care simple, flexible, and focused on you, not insurance rules.
-
Private pay means you work directly with us for services instead of billing insurance first.
This allows us to tailor sessions to your goals, pace, and learning style. That may include art therapy, parent support, emotional regulation work, or deeper relational care. Private pay also means fewer barriers, more transparency, and more room for creativity in how therapy looks and feels.
We also support out-of-network benefits. Many insurance plans still want you to see the provider you choose, which often includes deductibles and partial reimbursements for out-of-network care.
-
Yes, many clients do.
If your insurance includes out-of-network coverage, we can provide a superbill after each session. A superbill is a detailed receipt you submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Your insurer then decides what portion they return to you based on your plan and deductible. We also partner with Mentaya to help clients estimate and use their out-of-network benefits more easily.
We are also working toward being able to bill out-of-network benefits directly for clients to make the process even simpler.
-
Yes. Creative Continuum is an ESA vendor in Arizona.
Families using Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) funding may be able to apply funds toward therapy services. If you are using ESA, we can talk through how it works, what paperwork is needed, and how to get started.
We also help families determine eligibility, apply for benefits, and establish funding when possible so the process feels less overwhelming.
-
Insurance often comes with a lot of restrictions. They may require specific diagnoses, limit how often you can come, and control how long sessions can be. Most plans only allow 45 to 50 minute sessions, even when a full 60 minutes would better support your nervous system, processing, and care. Insurance companies also ask for personal details that do not always align with creative, relational, and neurodivergent affirming therapy.
By staying independent, we protect your privacy and keep therapy personalized. Your sessions follow your needs and goals instead of an insurance company’s checklist.
-
We believe in being clear without making things complicated.
Our typical session fees range from $175 to $225, depending on the provider and type of service. We are always happy to walk you through pricing during your consultation so there are no surprises.
Beginning in May, we will also offer lower cost sessions with our intern Joy at $100 per session, creating more accessible options for families and individuals seeking care.
-
We offer a limited number of sliding scale spots when availability allows. These are reserved for families with financial need and are not guaranteed.
At the same time, we truly want clients to receive the services that fit them best. We are always open to exploring financial flexibility, payment plans, or realistic options when cost feels stressful. You are welcome to ask about availability during your consultation so we can talk through what may work.
