You might be doing “fine” on the outside, but inside your nervous system stays on alert. If you’re neurodivergent (ADHD or autism) and also carrying complex trauma or relational trauma, it can be hard to tell what’s biology and what’s biography, especially when there wasn’t one clear “big” event.
At Tanager Counseling, we’re a psychotherapist practice that bridges neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed care. We offer trauma therapy and PTSD therapy for adults, teens, couples, and families, with an attachment-focused lens and real nervous system regulation tools. Many clients in Plano and Carrollton, and across the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, come in asking for a “therapist near me” who understands both neurotype differences and developmental trauma.
✔ Individual therapy that supports masking, shutdown, and overwhelm
✔ Family therapy for mixed neurotypes and communication repair
✔ Assessments and training for therapists who want stronger trauma-informed, neuro-affirming skills 🧠
If you’re searching “psychotherapist near me” and want care that fits your brain and your story, reach out to schedule a consult.

You know that quiet, shut-down feeling after a stressful conversation, when your brain goes blank but your body is still on alert. If you’re neurodivergent (ADHD or autism) and also carrying complex trauma or emotional neglect, it can be hard to tell what’s “you” and what’s your nervous system trying to stay safe.
At Tanager Counseling, our psychotherapist team blends trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming care to support adults, teens, and mixed-neurotype couples and families in Plano and the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. We offer trauma therapy that connects your biology and your biography, without forcing you into one-size-fits-all coping tools.
Support can include:
• Individual therapy for nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work 🧠
• Family therapy to reduce misreads, shutdowns, and conflict cycles 👨👩👧👦
• PTSD therapy support when reminders show up in everyday life 🌿
• Assessments and CEU trainings for therapists who want to integrate both lenses 📋
