Who We Help

Guiding Growth.
Restoring Hope.
01
Neurodivergent affirming therapy starts from the view that autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent ways of thinking are differences, not defects. The goal is not to make you appear neurotypical. It is to reduce distress, strengthen self-understanding, and build support that actually fits.
Many neurodivergent people arrive in therapy carrying years of masking, burnout, and the message that they are too much or not enough.
02
Ashley Gutierrez specializes in working with the neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities. She believes you are the expert of your own life, tailors her style to your needs, and uses DBT and narrative therapy to help with emotion regulation and with reclaiming your own story.
Ashley works with teens 13 and older, young adults, adults, and couples, and offers daytime, evening, and weekend telehealth.
03
Anxiety, burnout and recovery from masking, sensory overwhelm, emotional regulation, relationships and communication, identity, and navigating school, work, and family systems that were not built with you in mind.
Guiding Hope does not currently offer autism or ADHD evaluations. Therapy is available with or without a formal diagnosis.

Guiding Hope is in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage varies by plan, and superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.
You share a little about what is bringing you in, ask any practical questions, and talk through which clinician may fit. It is a conversation, not a commitment.
Please call 911 if you are in immediate danger, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Guiding Hope offers scheduled outpatient therapy and is not an emergency service.
