Neurodivergent Therapist in Indianapolis
Indianapolis has a growing neurodivergent adult community — and a significant shortage of affirming providers. Telehealth therapy for autistic adults, late-diagnosed ADHD, and AuDHD folx in Indy who are ready to stop masking.
Neurodivergent-Led Therapy for Indianapolis Clients
Love Psychotherapy is a neurodivergent-owned, queer-owned telehealth practice. Mx. Love C. Dialogos (They/Them) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Buddhist chaplain, and AAMFT-Approved Supervisor offering strengths-based, identity-affirming care to neurodivergent clients in Indianapolis and across Indiana.
Indianapolis clients often present with the double bind of neurodivergence and queerness in a politically conservative state — masking on both fronts. Therapy here frequently involves grief work around years of suppression and the relief of being seen.
Autism — Identity-Affirming
Autism therapy grounded in the neurodiversity paradigm. No ABA, no compliance training, no "fixing." We work with your actual experience — sensory, social, executive, and emotional.
ADHD — Emotional Dysregulation & RSD
ADHD therapy that goes beyond productivity tips. We work with emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), shame, and the identity wounds that accumulate before diagnosis.
AuDHD — The Intersection
The co-occurrence of autism and ADHD creates a specific experience that neither framework alone captures. AuDHD therapy holds both simultaneously — the rigidity and the impulsivity, the hyperfocus and the shutdown.
Late Diagnosis — Grief & Relief
Late diagnosis brings a complicated mix: relief at finally having language for your experience, and grief for the years you struggled without support. We work with both.
Autistic Burnout
Autistic burnout is a prolonged state of exhaustion and reduced functioning caused by chronic masking and overextension. Recovery is possible — but it requires a different kind of support than regular burnout.
Demand Avoidance / PDA Profile
The Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile is significantly underrecognized. Therapy uses autonomy-supportive, low-demand approaches that actually work for PDA-profile autistic adults.
Neurodivergent Community in Indianapolis
Indianapolis has a growing neurodivergent self-advocacy community, with Indiana University's neurodiversity research programs and the Indiana Resource Center for Autism. The city's conservative political climate means many neurodivergent adults — especially queer ones — have limited access to identity-affirming care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Indianapolis doesn't have many affirming providers. Why is that, and what are my options?
Indiana's political climate has made it harder for affirming providers to practice openly, and the state has fewer training programs that emphasize neurodiversity-affirming approaches. Telehealth with an out-of-state provider licensed in Indiana is often the most realistic path to genuinely affirming care — which is exactly what I offer.
I am both neurodivergent and queer in Indiana. Is that something you understand?
Yes — this is a core part of my practice. Being neurodivergent and queer in a conservative state means masking on multiple fronts simultaneously, often for years. The exhaustion, the grief, and the relief of finally being seen without having to perform are things I work with regularly. You don't have to choose which part of yourself to bring to therapy.
What is the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, and can they help with diagnosis?
The Indiana Resource Center for Autism (IRCA) at Indiana University is a state resource that provides training, consultation, and some direct services. They can be a useful starting point for navigating the evaluation process in Indiana. I can help you think through your options and what a formal diagnosis might or might not add to your self-understanding.
Do you work with clients in Bloomington, Fort Wayne, or other Indiana cities?
Yes — telehealth means I can work with anyone in Indiana. Bloomington, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville, Carmel — wherever you are in the state, you can access affirming neurodivergent therapy without traveling to Indianapolis.
