About Us :

The Neurodiversity Center of Princeton is a collaborative private practice dedicated to supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families across the lifespan. We offer strengths-based affirming therapy, assessment, coaching and consultation designed to help our clients thrive at home, in school, at work and in their communities.

Our mission is to create a welcoming space where neurodivergent people are understood, respected and empowered. We believe that neurodiversity is a valuable part of human variation, not something to be fixed but something to be supported. Our work is grounded in compassion, connection and curiosity, and we aim to meet each individual where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be. This includes working to ensure that the environments people learn, live and work in are supportive of their needs and strengths.

As a growing team of clinicians, coaches and consultants, we are building a center that not only provides excellent care but also actively promotes inclusion, advocacy and equity within organizations, educational systems and healthcare settings. We are especially passionate about serving those who may have been misunderstood or overlooked in traditional settings, including autistic individuals, people with ADHD, PDA profiles, learning differences and other neurodivergent identities.
