Neurodivergence

Neurodivergence care in Middleburg, VA at Griswold Integrative Psychiatry LLC is provided by Sophia Griswold, a solo provider who takes a whole-person, strengths-based approach. Whether you prefer in-person visits in Middleburg or telehealth appointments across Virginia, Sophia offers comprehensive assessment, individualized supports, and practical strategies for autistic people, those with ADHD, and others who identify as neurodivergent.

What we treat Services address a range of neurodivergent presentations including autism spectrum differences, ADHD and executive function challenges, sensory processing differences, social communication needs, learning-related difficulties, and co-occurring mood or anxiety concerns. Care is tailored for adults, adolescents, and school-aged children (in collaboration with families and schools as needed).

Assessment and diagnosis Accurate neurodivergence assessment begins with a detailed developmental and medical history, direct interview, standardized rating scales, and collateral information from family, teachers, or other providers when available. Sophia evaluates cognitive and functional strengths, sensory patterns, executive skills, social communication, mental health symptoms, and medical contributors. Diagnosis and recommendations emphasize practical supports, accommodations, and a strengths-focused formulation.

Benefits of professional neurodivergence care

• Clarifying diagnosis and understanding individual neurotype and needs

• Personalized treatment plans that blend behavioral strategies, coaching, and medical management when appropriate

• Coordination with schools, employers, therapists, and families to implement accommodations and supports

• Integration of holistic interventions: nutrition guidance, targeted supplements, exercise plans, sleep optimization, and optional spiritual or meaning-focused care

• Skill-building for executive function, social communication, emotional regulation, and sensory modulation

• Medication management when indicated for attention, mood, sleep, or anxiety symptoms

Treatment approach Sophia uses evidence-informed interventions combined with integrative supports. Typical elements include psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral strategies adapted for neurodivergent learners, executive-function coaching, parent or family guidance, environmental and sensory modifications, and collaborative care with other specialists. When medication may help (e.g., for ADHD, anxiety, or mood), careful medication management is offered alongside non-pharmacologic supports.

When to seek an evaluation Consider an evaluation if differences in attention, learning, sensory reactivity, social communication, or behavior cause persistent challenges at home, school, or work; if accommodations are needed; or if mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, sleep problems) are compounded by neurodivergent traits. Early clarification and supports improve functioning and reduce secondary difficulties.
