Neurodivergent individuals can sometimes feel overlooked by traditional mental health care, as traditional therapies may not always take their unique ways of processing information and emotional life into account.
It’s with this in mind that True Life Center’s neurodivergence program was created. We offer people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or adults living with autism spectrum (ASD) the care they need to live their very best lives. We believe in meaningful, empowering mental health care for everyone—not just neurotypical people. Here, your personal flourishing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
Why neurodivergent individuals need specialized support
Neurodivergent minds process information, emotion, and energy in distinct ways. For those with ADHD or autism, that can mean heightened sensitivity, different communication styles, or difficulties with focus, organization, or emotional regulation. These traits may also be exacerbated by co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression.
Unfortunately, many mental health settings are still aimed at neurotypical people. This means neurodivergent individuals often have to figure out mental health challenges on their own, or try to bend and modify systems that don’t quite fit who they are. Everyone deserves compassionate, expert care. At True Life, we believe in excellent mental health care for all people.
How is a neurodivergent program different from others?
At the heart of True Life Center’s neurodivergent care is neurobiological integration. This innovative treatment combines both mental and physical wellness, so that you can care for yourself as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. Effective transformations take place when our whole being is addressed.
Here, we take the time to learn about your cognitive patterns, emotional needs, physiological responses, and life goals to create a plan tailored for you. While some of our patients thrive with therapeutic approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT); others may need more somatic-based support like mindfulness, biofeedback, or acupuncture. We listen and take our cues from you.
What are the benefits of a neurodivergent program for ADHD?
One type of neurodivergence is ADHD. People living with ADHD often have challenges associated with organization, focus, and emotional regulation. Here are several benefits of a neurodivergent program tailored to ADHD:
1. Personalized and strengths-based
Not everyone with ADHD is the same. The condition can manifest in a variety of ways, including hyperactivity, inattentiveness, emotional reactivity, or all of the above. True Life Center personalizes care so that your unique mix of symptoms is addressed. Our team of expert therapists creates a plan around your cognitive patterns, executive function challenges, and daily responsibilities so that you can develop your strengths.
2. Executive function support through holistic interventions
It’s common for people with ADHD to struggle with focus, memory, or organization. Our integrative approach combines cognitive therapies like CBT and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with holistic techniques such as biofeedback, mindfulness, and yoga. These help regulate your nervous system, increase body awareness, and improve impulse control and your resilience.
3. Empowerment through identity-affirming ADHD care
At True Life Center, ADHD isn’t something to be treated—it’s something to be understood. We affirm your value and your experiences, and instead of forcing you to fit society’s standards, we support who you already are. Our goal is to empower you and help you create values that serve as a guide for your life.
Our beautiful San Diego setting offers peaceful luxury and an environment where overstimulation is minimized. Here, you’ll have focused one-on-one sessions, not a crowded or chaotic clinical environment.
What are the benefits of a neurodivergent program for people with autism?
1. Individualized support that honors who you are
Autism comes with a diverse range of manifestations, and whether you identify as autistic or on the spectrum, True Life Center creates a care plan that honors your communication style, sensory and emotional needs. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions and will work with you to create the most meaningful and sustainable transformation.
2. Emotional regulation and relief through mind-body integration
Sensory overwhelm, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation are common for adults living with autism. Our neurodivergence program incorporates therapies like biofeedback, mindfulness, and body-based practices that help you feel more grounded, peaceful, and in control. By regulating the nervous system, these tools can help ease any pressure you may feel and increase your sense of security.
3. Dignity in care
At True Life Center, we don’t view autism as a deficit to be fixed—but as a meaningful part of your identity. Our providers are trained to support neurodivergent patients with respect, dignity, and language that honors instead of stigmatizes. Here, you can be who you are.
4. A peaceful setting designed for your comfort
Healing happens in spaces where you feel calm and in control. Our luxury outpatient center is designed to be soothing and non-disruptive. It’s the ideal setting for people with sensory sensitivities or for people who just want to quiet the noise of the world and focus on healing.
