We Specialize in Neurodiversity
At TheraThrive, you are our VIP
We specialize in neurodiversity, which includes autism, ADHD, giftedness, learning disabilities and more. We support highly sensitive and intense children, teens and adults. We are also experienced in testing, assessment, and treating anxiety, depression, and just about everything else.
We help with people who are dealing with a variety of challenges, such as existential depression, generalized anxiety, OCD, sleep problems, emotional reactivity, transition concerns, problematic behaviors, addiction, need for self-understanding, parenting stress, anger issues, overwhelm, work stress, relationship concerns, and more.
We Provide Specialized Support
We are a team of neurodivergent and neurodivergent affirming clinicians specializing in serving neurodivergent people of all ages, and their families and communities.
We view therapy as a path to healing, and a path that promotes mental health fitness. It can be holistic, and often the healing occurs deep within. As you grow in personal insight, aspects of who you are become clearer and easier to understand.
Therapy is a discovery process of finding the meaning you have been looking for. It is about personal growth and opening in awareness.
For children, therapy can be a time to be fully heard and accepted, a time and place to play, create, and heal, a space to process memories, thoughts and feelings, and to learn new skills.
Our assessment process is tailored to each individual to help bring clarity to a complex presentation. Assessment can be for adults or children, ages 5 and up, depending upon the needs and situation.
At TheraThrive, we offer counseling, consultation, social groups, and assessment for neurodivergent children, teens, adults, couples, parents, and families.
There is no time like now to thrive.

Our Mission, Vision and Values
We are a neuroaffirming practice that specializes in serving neurodivergent clients. Our mission is to help members of all of our communities, local and broad, with the things that are truly important to thrive, both in their own lives and in their relationships, to grow in self-understanding, to promote community awareness, and to make wellness a down to earth practice.
Our vision is to serve neurodivergent individuals, their families and their friends, with top notch care, such that they are understood, supported and can thrive. Our secondary vision is to eliminate mental health stigma by creating awareness of, appreciation for, and acceptance of mental health self care.
Our values include the following:

It’s easy to schedule your first appointment! Existing clients, for follow up appointments please contact your therapist at 888-777-2915.
Our Offices
We hope to see you!
We offer services in-office (in Lafayette, CA and Toluca Lake/Burbank, CA) and also online, in order to best support our communities.
We provide ongoing therapy for adults, kids, and teens, group therapy, social groups, testing and assessment services, and also single session appointments, which are sort of like drop-in appointments, for those who only want to meet just one to three times. It’s easy to schedule an appointment.
We especially like to share our perspective and ideas on things that matter to neurodivergent people.
