Tether & Tide Counseling

Providing neurodiverse-affirming and trauma-informed individual therapy. A safe, welcoming space for adults to navigate life's tides with gentle, grounded support.

Rooted in Compassion &
Neuro-Affirming Care

Tether and Tide Counseling provides a sanctuary for adults seeking a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and understanding. We believe your brain is not broken; it simply experiences the world through a unique lens. We specialize in trauma-informed care that honors your history without defining your future.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of ADHD, recovering from prenatal or postpartum challenges, or seeking to process trauma, our approach is collaborative and human-centered. We move away from clinical prescriptions toward a dialogue that helps you untangle the pressure to perform, find stability amid life's changing tides, and foster a deep sense of self-connection.
