Therapy and evaluation services for neurodivergent adults
In-person in Arlington or online from anywhere in Virginia
Learn how to work with your brain, not against it.
Maybe you already have a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism (or both), or perhaps you're just noticing some differences in the way your brain operates. Whether you’ve known about your neurodivergence for years or are just starting to connect the dots, you’re in the right place.
Whatever personal or professional challenges you are facing, neurodivergent-affirming therapy offers a fresh approach to mental health that encourages self-acceptance and personal growth. Instead of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, neuro-affirming therapy embraces the squareness. It recognizes that what works for one person may not work for another, and that's perfectly okay.
Reach out today to learn how therapy can help you understand and appreciate your brain, harness your unique strengths, and unlock your full potential.
Hello! My name is Jennifer Beytin (she/her), and I’m a licensed clinical therapist (LCSW) practicing in Virginia.
I specialize in working with ADHD, Autistic, and AuDHD adults — whether formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or still exploring. My therapy style is affirming, strengths-based, collaborative, and rooted in real-world strategies. I’m here to help you understand how your brain works, navigate personal and professional challenges, and live more authentically.
Because each client is unique, I use a personalized approach that combines techniques from a variety of evidence-based treatments. We will work together to tap into your strengths, remove the roadblocks that are getting in your way, and work toward your goals.
Ready to get started? Please reach out to schedule a free consultation call. I see clients out of my Arlington (Rosslyn) office, as well as via teletherapy.

ADHD is more than just distraction or hyperactivity. It can look like a million browser tabs open at once, zoning out in the middle of a conversation, or struggling with time in ways that feel impossible to explain. ADHD is creativity, passion, divergent thinking, deep empathy, and powerful intuition. But it’s also forgotten appointments, burnout from masking, and the frustration of trying to focus when your brain has other plans. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And you’re definitely not alone.
I work with adults who are navigating ADHD and all the stuff that can come along with it — anxiety, stress, burnout, shame, relationship problems, masking, identity, and just trying to function in a world that often isn’t built for neurodivergent minds.
Things we can work on together:
Understanding your ADHD brain (especially if you're newly diagnosed or late-identified)
Executive function support
Anxiety, burnout, and that all-too-familiar “I can’t keep up” feeling
Sleep difficulties
Emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity
Perfectionism, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome
Shame and unmasking
Identifying and leveraging your strengths

Sleep difficulties
Unmasking and getting to know your true self
Sensory overwhelm and emotional dysregulation
Processing past trauma in a way that makes sense for your brain
Building relationships that honor your boundaries and communication style

You’re smart, driven, creative—and exhausted.
You want tools that actually work for your brain. You don’t need someone to tell you to “just focus” or “try harder.” You’ve already done that. And it doesn’t work.
Neuro-affirming therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about supporting the way your brain already works.
Whether you are trying to create a better work-life balance, navigate a career change, find greater personal or professional fulfillment, improve your communication skills, or recover from burnout – therapy can help.
Every individual is unique, and so are their experiences of job stress. A customized approach ensures you receive the support and guidance that aligns with your personality, goals, and preferences.

I provide neuro-affirming ADHD and Autism evaluations for adults. In addition to a clinical interview, we will use a combination of evidence-based screeners and assessment tools to better understand your strengths, challenges, and needs.
We will review the latest DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria and screen for other conditions that may be co-occurring or share features of ADHD and/or Autism.
Please reach out to learn more.
LIMITS OF EVALUATION SERVICES:
Diagnostic Evaluations for Autism and/or ADHD are for the sole purpose of evaluating and identifying/diagnosing ADHD or Autism. A focused evaluation helps confirm a suspected diagnosis of adult ADHD or Autism when extensive testing isn’t necessary.
Depending on your purposes for seeking an evaluation, full neuropsychological testing may be more appropriate. If you need documentation to seek accommodations, some employers and schools may require full neuropsych testing, which includes personality assessments, IQ tests, assessments for learning disabilities, and other measures which must be completed by a psychologist who specializes in this type of testing. Please check to see what type of testing may be best for you before booking an appointment.
FAQs
Do I need a formal ADHD or Autism diagnosis to work with you?
Not at all. You’re welcome here whether you’re diagnosed, undiagnosed, or unsure. Many of my clients are self-identified or exploring a possible diagnosis. If you are interested in pursuing a neuro-affirming diagnostic assessment, I can help.
Do I need therapy or coaching?
I am a licensed, experienced therapist who works at the intersection of emotional healing and practical strategy. Depending on your needs, we can work on improving mental health by focusing on things like understanding patterns, managing anxiety or depressive symptoms, healing emotional pain, or processing trauma. We can also work on skill-building activities typically offered by coaching services — things like developing effective strategies for problem solving and building systems that actually work for your brain. Most of my clients need and prefer a combination of these approaches.
Do you work with clients who have other diagnoses?
Yes! I often work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or other challenges. Because ADHD and Autism are frequently co-occurring, I work with many adults who meet the criteria for both diagnoses. I also especially enjoy working with career changers, entrepreneurs, business leaders, creatives, and other professionals who are feeling burned out or overwhelmed.
Can you help with medication management?
I do not prescribe medication, but I’m happy to collaborate with your prescriber or refer you to providers who can support that part of your care.
