Unmasking doesn’t happen overnight.
It starts with small changes, tiny risks

Smiling only when something is funny
Pausing before agreeing
Taking a break when overstimulated

Then one day you find yourself rocking excitedly while telling a story
Sharing your special interest even if it’s WEIRD
Wearing headphones when it’s too loud

Unmasking is the process of unlearning
It’s taking up space
It’s being different and knowing that’s ok

I’m Levana, and I run a 100% virtual practice designed for brains that work a little differently. If you have spent your life feeling like you are operating on a different frequency than everyone else, you are in the right place.
My perspective moves away from fixing and towards understanding. We look at things like:
• Executive Functioning: Building skills to get stuff done that ACTUALLY work
• Sensory Safety: Creating an environment that feels good to live in.
• Emotional Dysregulation: Managing your emotional responses while also validating them
• Rejection Sensitivity: Navigating the big feelings that come with a neurodivergent experience.
Therapy with me is less about clinical mystery and more about collaborative curiosity. I might be a therapist, but I’m also a human who understands that sometimes the hardest part of the day is just deciding what to eat for lunch.

I work with clients in Ohio, Florida and Indiana. Reach out to see if therapy with me might be a good fit!

Dissociation can helpful at times when we need to do things that are boring or routine. I mean, who needs to feel fully present when you are making your morning coffee?

But when you feel detached from yourself during important moments, it can feel frustrating. You can learn to manage dissociation so that you can feel more present and in control.

We had a meaningful morning volunteering at as part of

The day is centered around the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world. organized several opportunities for the kids to be a part of something bigger than themselves and we decided to make and serve lunch to some families who have children staying at Nationwide Children’s. It created a chance for my kids and I to cultivate gratitude and service as well as time spent together which can be hard to find in this season of parenting.

Can you relate?
Social skills are hard when you are Autistic/ADHD. It’s easy to get caught up in your head, overthinking everything you say and do.
That’s why it’s important to unmask when you get home. Do your weird things. Be with your weird people or decompress alone. That fills your cup for when it’s time to go back out there.

Much of the work my neurodivergent clients do involves unlearning harmful messages about being too dramatic or sensitive.

When you are repeatedly told that your sensory and emotional needs are too much as a child, you grow up ignoring and denying them.

The truth is, when you are able to care for your needs before they get out of control, you actually become more regulated and stable. Normalizing your emotional and sensory needs is a supportive way of accommodating yourself.

Learning how to notice emotional dysregulation early and care for yourself is the best way to prevent meltdown.

Honestly, as someone with ADHD noticing when I’m getting overwhelmed is actually the hardest part of this process for me. I tend to hyperfocus and get wrapped up easily in tasks and then check out of how my environment and emotional state are impacting me.

Having a visual like this helps to problem solve when I feel overwhelmed and notice before a full on meltdown down takes over.

If an alarm didn’t go off, I probably didn’t do it. And if an alarm went off, there’s a good chance I turned it off and still forgot to do it.
I’m very grateful that I figured out a way to remember what I need to do (mostly) but I often do get frustrated. It feels unfair that I have to work this hard to accomplish basic tasks when others seem to naturally remember.

As an ADHDer and therapist and advocate for the Neurodivergent community, my focus is primarily on education about the struggles we face. The judgement from others, the lack of accommodation and need to mask our true selves. But we are so much more than our pain! Let’s seek out and acknowledge our joy, even when it looks different than typical joy.
Here are some of the ways that I experience joy as well as see joy in others.
How do you experience joy as a neurodivergent?
