Maria Conforti, LCSW

I have over 15 years of practice working with children, teens, at risk young men in institutional settings, couples and families.

My specialties evolved as I found my self drawn to more and more neurodivergent clients which led to my pursuit of an Adhd diagnosis which I received in my mid 30s. I am currently 49 and exploring the potential for a sub category that has only recently been heavily addressed via social media platforms from the emerging community in an unprecedented set of circumstances where a population appears to be identifying itself from within the rapidly increasing number of late diagnosed people with "autism spectrum disorder" and we apear to adopting the term AudHd as an identifier.

In an effort to explore and embrace whatever comes next on this path of self discovery, I am thoughtfully and carefully choosing to disclose my neurodivergent status in an effort to close the devastating gap in services for neurodivergent people seeking empathetic validating and compassionate care, the lack of which has caused a great deal of damage to our community and continues to pose a significant source of potential continued harm given the specific nature of some of the more difficult symptoms we must navigate in a world that wasn't initially built for us to be acknowledged, much less to be included, and even less to be welcomed.

I am specifically offering my services to others who would identify as AudHd as my top priority ideal client.

I look forward to the exciting opportunity to be going where therapists have never gone before as partners with their clients.
