ADHD & Autism Therapy for Neurodivergent Professionals

Serving clients across New York — and licensed in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont & Florida


As a person with ADHD and Autism, you wonder if whatever you do is “good enough” for you to gain approval from others you care about and to “fit in” with those who are neurotypical.

You tried everything in your toolbox to make a lasting change but no matter what you do, it’s never good enough.

You end up feeling depressed and anxious as a result. Sometimes you don’t know how to feel because you don’t have the words to describe it.

As a result, you’re not able to be your authentic self. You have to mask to show others that “everything is fine” while you’re numb on the inside. A mask to show that you’re “normal”.

Like many of us, you’ve done everything in your power to navigate this world with a brave face as a neurodivergent individual.

Guess what…

You are not alone.

There is hope.

I’m happy to see you!

Hey there! I’m Angela Rodriguez-Heller, a licensed therapist. I have a message for you:

Finding the right therapist means finding someone who truly gets you. As a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC), I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and creative understanding to every session.

My background in comedy and theater isn't just a fun fact—it's central to how I practice therapy. It helps me build authentic rapport quickly, bring creativity to our work together, and approach challenges from fresh angles. I understand the importance of authenticity, expression, and the courage it takes to show up as yourself.

We specialize in the following areas for preteens, teenagers, and adults:

ADHD Living with ADHD can feel like your brain is running a marathon while everyone else walks. I help clients understand their ADHD, develop practical strategies, and embrace their unique neurotype without shame. We also offer assessments for ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD.

Anxiety Whether it's generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic, we'll work together to understand your anxiety patterns and develop tools to help you feel more grounded and in control.

Depression Depression can make everything feel heavy and overwhelming. Through evidence-based approaches and genuine support, we'll work toward reconnecting with hope, energy, and meaning.

Intergenerational Trauma The wounds we carry aren't always our own. I help clients understand and heal from family patterns and inherited trauma, breaking cycles and creating healthier futures.

Emotional Regulation Learning to navigate big emotions is a skill, not a character flaw. I provide practical tools and compassionate support for managing intense feelings and developing emotional resilience.
