Our Journey
As the world grapples with mental health challenges, Alysse and Brittany embarked on a journey to build their own therapy practice in October 2023. Their mission was clear: to provide therapeutic frameworks that challenge the existing norms of the mental health system, which had long struggled to adequately support their clients and their caregivers.
Vision for Change
These two neurodivergent therapists bring a unique perspective to this pivotal cause. Drawing from their lived experiences and clinical expertise, they have identified critical deficiencies in traditional mental health treatment: the absence of tools, resources, and support for both themselves and those seeking help.
Filling the Void
Alysse and Brittany recognized that the current mental health landscape often fosters shame and neglects the crucial aspects of accommodation and compassion. With this realization, they set out to fill this gap by establishing a practice that embodies their ethos of affirmative treatment.
Our Team
Alysse Joseph, LCSW-C (She/Her)
As a late diagnosed ADHDer, with a chronic illness, I understand the challenges and strengths that come with being wired differently as well as the emotional and mental toll that comes with being chronically ill.
I utilize person-centered therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), play and creative experiences in my sessions. Regardless of your age and reason for seeking services, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive and affirming space where growth and joy can coexist.
I excel with those who stand strong when the world overlooks them—those who speak their truth, live with fierce independence, and navigate the complexities of being reactive and highly sensitive.
Brittany McCartan, LCSW-C (She/Her)
As a neurodivergent therapist (AuDHDer), I'm passionate about the positive shift toward neurodiversity in the mental health field. I utilize an affirming, person-centered approach that emphasizes helping individuals leverage their strengths and find accommodations that best support their areas of need. I excel in guiding the defiant spirits—the "hot-headed," the rebels, and the challengers of the status quo.
