Directory

Therapist Neurodiversity Collective initially verifies the credentials, and licenses for the therapists listed in our Directory. All of the listed providers in the Directory have agreed to follow our practice guidelines.

However, while we periodically review each business, we make no guarantees that therapists will remain licensed and certified or that they will follow our practice guidelines. We highly recommend that the public exercise due diligence with an appropriate level of investigation, including checking the validity of a professional’s credentials prior to engaging them as a therapy provider.

If you are a Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapist, help people to find you by listing your practice in the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective's Directory.

The Therapist Neurodiversity Collective Directory page receives thousands of organic visitors every month, and TNDC receives emails almost weekly from people in search of a truly neurodiversity-affirming therapy provider in their area.
If you are a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming therapist, help them find YOU by listing your practice in our Directory.

 If the practice owner is a member of the Collective and agrees that all therapists within the practice will uphold TNDC’s ethics and values, a therapy practice may be listed in the TNDC directory at no cost
