At Wingspan, we provide neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive services for all ages in Virginia. We specialize in diagnostic evaluations for autism and ADHD for adults and teens who are high-masking, 2E (twice exceptional), seeking a diagnosis later in life, and/or desiring reevaluation after a negative diagnostic experience, as well as autism evaluations for children for whom the traditional path isn’t a good fit. We are particularly passionate about supporting parents who are seeking their own diagnosis after their child’s experience led to new or increased self-discovery, helping fellow therapists and healthcare professionals on their path to diagnosis, working with college students and older teens who are seeking an evaluation to increase self-awareness while improving access to university accommodations.

We offer self-discovery sessions for adults and teens as well, especially those newly or self-diagnosed, to help deepen their understanding of their identity and explore unmasking, and consult sessions for specific topics, such as promoting intentionality in parenting — whether supporting yourself as an autistic and/or ADHD parent or your child’s unique neurotype — and cultivating neuro-inclusive home environments. This is solution-focused, brief therapy designed to be only one or a few sessions; while we don’t offer ongoing therapy services at this time, we keep a referral list of neuro-affirming therapists and other providers for our clients.

We are AuDHD and LGBTQ+ owned and led. Our therapeutic approach blends lived experience with intentionally neurodivergent-centered, inclusive best practice. In a society where the traditional evaluation model is deficit-based and care may feel prescriptive or misaligned, we show up differently. Our services are neuro-affirming, non-pathologizing, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. Our process centers your unique identity and needs and is designed to be collaborative and empowering.
