Adela Stone - Couples Specialist
Psychotherapist -
I’m a COUPLES specialist and also focus on NEURODIVERGENT couples. I help partners reconnect, stop ineffective communication patterns, heal emotional wounds and navigate mismatched values and desires.
I’m aware that neurodivergent couples face unique challenges due to their different neurology. It is important to view a partnership through this biological lens as opposed to focusing on external conflicts only.
I believe that any couple deserves the chance to rebuild their relationship and to both give and receive love. I have seen that with the right guidance, people have the inner resources they need to transform: internally and in relationship.
I will help you get on a more productive path where you and your partner can integrate new insights about yourselves as well as one another, and move past old wounds, mismatched sexual needs or communicating styles.
Together, we work on connecting past events and upbringing with how those patterns show up today. Once we understand that, we can make changes in the dynamic to make the communication more effective. I also have a lot of resources for both neurodiverse and neurotypical couples.
I’ve been a couples therapy client myself: I know it can feel scary but it also showed me how helpful it is. I would like to offer you the same benefit now and show you there is still hope. Don’t let resentment tell you otherwise!
