Emerson Black, Licensed Professional Counselor, MA

I support late-diagnosed or self-identifying neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and autism, who have spent much of their lives masking to fit in. Together, we work to unlearn internalized shame, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that honors your true neurotype. I also work with parents of LGBTQ+ children and teens, including those who are transgender, nonbinary, or questioning their gender or sexual orientation. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process your emotions, navigate the coming-out journey, and deepen your understanding of LGBTQ+ identities. Together, we'll work toward affirming parenting practices and more connected family relationships. Although many of my clients are neurodiverse or LGBTQ+, I also help those redefining happiness outside of our "default" norms of things like marriage, wealth, or career.
